It’s probably that among our group of Mexicans, there are some who had drug-cartel involvement. We have people from Sinaloa, the homeland of some of the cartels and of the Santa Muerte cult. Whatever they did in the past, they wouldn’t be attending our church now if they weren’t serious about being Christians.
I’m sure RC can look at the experiences of African Protestants and see that Catholic faith is not the key factor in mixing occult belief with Christianity ... because this is simply a verifiable fact, and we conservatives live with facts, instead of dismissing them like the “progressives” do.
Native Americans are no more monolithic than Europeans, from Ireland to Russia. The religion of Cherokees was cleaner than that of indigenous Mexicans or the tribes of Liberia. Some anthropologists suggest an environmental component - the harder life is, the more demanding the “gods,” in terms of blood and cruelty - but that’s just a theory.
