Help, somebody, I'm going to die laughing!! Can anyone in their right mind imagine that a Vodou ritual might ever be held in a convent?? The Catholic Church in Haiti does exercise some tolerance toward Vodou, but I don't think they've reached that level of ecumenical accord yet!

Oh, children of Gine, I can see it now! Mother Superior on Kongo drum, nuns doing the Yanvalou dance, and visiting Fathers with communion wafers in hand becoming possessed by the Bizango lwa Simbi Makaya!

Ha! Haha! HAHAHAHAHAH! OOOooooooEEEEE! HA HA HAHAHA!

Sorry, I just coudn't resist a good laugh! Ehhh....
ehehhhh....ehehehhhhh....

Ha! Haha! HAHAHAHAHAH! OOOooooooEEEEE! HA HA HAHAHA!

Thanks, I feel better now.

Love to all, may Gran Met, the ancestors and the lwa walk with you.
