Dual religions: how Afro-Brazilians maintain their spiritual roots
Ever since they were first brought to Brazil as slaves, Afro-Brazilians secretly practiced their polytheistic religions – sometimes in plain sight. How? By masking it with Catholicism. CGTN’s Lucrecia Franco reports from one church where this ‘dual faith’ system – known as Candomble – is practiced.

The Orishas are Yoruba not Angolan
Romans and Greeks before them, used to incorporate the religion of their conquered into aspects of their deities, Catholicism did the same with their Saints, not only incorporating African deities, but European paganism before it. It helped integration and convertions. Just recently Marxist priests started allowing heretic pagan rituals in the church. It wasn't this way before ww2.
