When a voodoo priest saw Pope John Paul II kiss the ground during his short visit to Haiti on March 9, 1983, he was quoted as saying, “Did you see how he kissed the ground, following voodoo ritual? Ah, what power!” Probably the pope did not have that in mind. Nevertheless, to the inhabitants of Haiti, a land described as 80Â percent Catholic and 100Â percent voodoo, the pope’s action was a sign of the kinship they feel exists between the Roman Catholic religion and voodooism, according to a report in the Californian newspaper Press-Telegram.
