For god's sake people, this is what the Vodou community has been asking for,
for years!!!!  Check with the vodou societies, of which I think there are at
least three major ones.  Whenever the President has gotten together with the
Vodouists at the National Palace, they have always voiced their anguish and
concern over the fact that procedures such as marriages, baptisms, funerals
are not recognized, forcing many people to go through a different religion to
have the act legitmized!  Even with the formation of the CEP recently, the
vodouists were questioning why they were not even considered as one of the
religious sectors.
