Robertson says Haitians don't like talking about this pact much. Might be because there was no such pact and no evidence of any other anecdotal accounts by fleeing French or Polish Troops who left with their tails between their legs in 1804.

Maybe he can point out the iron pig statue dedicated to the pact that no one else can find.

Oh, last I heard, Haiti is some 95% Catholic, Pat.

As one commentator puts it, “Haiti is reckoned as being 95% Christian (predominantly Catholic), but according to Catholic missionary John Hoet, Haitians ‘are 100% voodoo.’” Most are nominally Roman Catholic Christians, but most also practice some aspects of Voodoo and incorporate Christian saints into their pagan pantheon of African gods. Haiti ended its official recognition of Roman Catholicism as its state church in 1987.]
