Terrifying.

It certainly is. The Gospels tell us there was an outbreak of demonic activity during Christ's first coming. There seems to be an outbreak of demonic activity as we eagerly await his second, and we may be getting very close.
I think this is very good. When the Church first came to the Indian peoples of Mexico, converting them from the worship of vicious, death-dealing gods was taken of first importance, not because it was some sort of “imperialist dream,” but because the Indian peoples basically lived in fear and faith in Christ set them free. For the first centuries, the missionaries fiercely defended the faith and were particularly careful not to let the converts mix in bits of their former terrible superstitions.
Unfortunately, once the focus on doctrine weakened after the Second Vatican Council, the Church let some of these voodoo-type syncretist cults take hold without much opposition, partly out of a left-wing “indigenist” mentality and partly because of a bizarre misunderstanding of “ecumenism,” which in the mind of many churchmen simply meant that one could never say anything was false. And the Devil came back again, impressed by this show of weakness.
I think one of the most important things that can be done is the defeating of this “Santa Muerte” cult and the purification and restoration of the True Faith in Mexico. And it may be a one-to-one thing, one exorcism at a time, because the Devil has thrown down deep roots in these gangs and has turned these people into monsters.
