[cleopatrachampagne]

the vatican be like: yeah witchcraft is cool but only if you’re a white, italian man fuck off with those african diasporic and other new world interpretations of folk catholicism. mexicans dni with that santa muerte, feminine interpretations of a kind, peaceful, holy death sh!t. the pope’s solid gold toilet is what jesus would have wanted not the opinions of former slaves and descendants of the people our missionaries murdered. we did not have sexual relations with those innocents. the irish can stay for now but y’all are on thin motherfuckin’ ice. peace be with you and with your spirit. amen.

#me researching an article on folk catholicism and exploring my heritage really be like this #folk catholicism takes a really distorted religion and brings it back to the roots of why humans seek faith and i think that’s beautiful #the vatican can fuck right off i know that sounds quite rich coming from an anglican but damn bro #santa muerte #voudou #folk catholicism
