You know what a catechism is, right? That series of formula questions
and answers believers must recite to be confirmed and receive
communion? Here is the part of the catechism used in Haiti - as you
can see it teaches hate and destruction directed against the Vodou
religion.

31. Who is the principal slave of Satan?
The principal slave of Satan is the Houngan. (Note - a Houngan is a
male priest of the Vodou religion, a Mambo is a female priest of the
Vodou religion.)

32. What are the names given by the houngan to Satan?
The names given to Satan by Houngan are loas, angels, saints, morts,
and marasa.

33. Why do Houngan give Satan the names of angels, saints and morts?
Houngan call Santan after saints, angels and morts in order to deceive
us more easily.

34. How do men serve Satan?
In sinning, casting spells, practicing magic, giving food offerings,
manger les anges, manger marassa.

37. Are we allowed to mingle with the slaves of Satan?
No, because they are evil-doers; like Satan himself they are liars.

Catholics are also forced to recite the following oath:

I before God, stand in the Tabernacle, before the priest who
represents Him and renew the promises of my baptism. With hand on the
Gospels I swear never to give a food offering (manger loas) of
whatever kind - never to attend a Vodou ceremony of whatever kind,
never to take part in a service to loas in any way whatsoever. I
promise to destroy or have destroyed as soon as possible all fetishes
and objects of superstition, if any - on me, in my house, and in my
compound. In short I swear never to sink to any superstitious
practice whatever."

I have heard some people say they are "afraid" of Vodou! Well... we
don't preach against other religions, you have nothing to fear from
us. I am far more afraid of Catholics, who are taught to HATE and to
DESTROY. That is what WHAT SATAN DOES, HE HATES AND DESTROYS.

Peace and love,
