It's also interesting to see how voodoo has been championed by the priest-turned-president Jean-Baptiste Aristide. On the other hand, the Catholic Church is opposing to the idea that a houngan can now officiate at ceremonies such as baptisms, weddings, and funerals. On the one hand, I consider voodoo to be a legitimate religion, defined as a belief system that deserves protection under "freedom of religion"; on the other hand, the article hints that Bishop Lafontant is saying what everyone else are thinking but are too chicken to actually say.
