You havn't traveled in Latin America much have you?..
The Santoria in Cuba take idols of Babalu, then mold(in clay) RCC idols of Saints(Mary) over them made to look like RCC icons.. then fire and paint them.. And then they worship Bobalu with an "infectuous grin"...

The Santoria in Cuba are not Catholic.
They are, as I told you earlier, pagans.

The people you have described are not Catholics. They have mixed santeria (correct spelling) with aspects of Catholicism but they are not—I repeat—not Catholics in any kind of good standing with the Church.
This needs to be made perfectly clear before anyone refers to santeria as “Catholic”.
Also, I see that posters are not allowed to “read minds” on FR religion Forum.
Maybe there ought to be some addressing re: the “heart” reading that goes on here as well.
