Austrian pastor: “Interesting Voodoo worship in Haiti”
In an interview with a daily newspaper, the controversial Austrian pastor who also enjoys to watch football matches, declared that “Voodoo worship in Haiti is interesting.” Literally he said that “it’s interesting that there are 90 percent of Voodoo followers in Haiti.”
The pastor who was designated to be the next auxiliary bishop of Linz, had to quit his accession to office because castigators criticised his conservative disposition.
Austrias Broadcasting Corporation ORF explains that in fact 80 percent of Haitis inhabitants are Catholics. 10 percent follow other Chrisitian churches, and only the rest might follow Voodoo practices. “Haiti has only a few Voodoo followers”, is written on the ORF website. Many Haiti experts doubt the high percentage of Voodoo believers in the Caribbean country, which are published in some certain sources.
