Eleda.org joins Cuban babalawo Lazaro Cuesta and the Church of the Lukumí Babaluayé in the condemnation of the upcoming papal visit to Cuba. As recently occurred in West Africa, and now for the second time in Cuba, once again, followers of African religions are being dismissed and ignored by the Vatican, contending that the Afro-Cuban priesthood is basically a community of Catholics that have gone astray!

““La línea oficial del Cardenal (Jaime Ortega) y creo que de la Iglesia en general, fue que las personas que practican la santería son católicos, solo otra forma quizá desviada, pero no absolutamente herética o cismática’, comentó Tom Quigley, un antiguo asesor de la Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de Estados Unidos.” Continue reading »

Historical Background of Diplo-santería1

Since the very first humanitarian flight that departed to Cuba in 1979 after negotiations with the Cuban government allowed Cuban exiles to return to the island to visit their families, Diasporan Cuban Olorishas and their multi-national religious descendants have made countless visits to the island for religious purposes. Today, many younger Olorishas from the United States, Puerto Rico, Spain, Mexico, Venezuela, Panama, and other areas of the Cuban-Lukumí Diaspora are traveling to Cuba, infected by the nostalgic virus that we, the earlier generations of Cuban exiles disseminated, that idealized or romanticized the religion in Cuba. Under this assumption, bitten by the Lukumí-Mecca-in-Cuba bug, they seek religious knowledge and orthodoxy in the island. In many, the virus spreads and becomes a malignant cancer that cannot be extirpated. Continue reading »
