coincidentally when I was researching the effects of Salvia and where it was permitted; I unearthed info that a South American tribe (presumably one the Jesuits protected from Spanish colonisation many years ago) is allowed to have a combination of traditional animal worship and a full Roman Catholic Mass; as well as taking not just Savlia but many other psychedelic mushrooms/cacti.
it is not clased as a schism or an indulgence for “backward foreigners” but a valid offshoot of the Catholic Church; 100% Vatican approved! The Policia wherever they are don’t think its a crime either used in this method.
The only thing I couldn’t work out is what they wanted with the Salvia when they were permitted much more fun chemicals. As first I thought it was because they had some leopards and cats like it; so they could scatter the stuff about and pray in the open (nice and warm there) and not get eaten; but the medium size cats in South America aren’t big enough to eat humans and can be tamed with enough effort.
I guess it is for the bit where you must strike your chest and say “through my fault, through my fault, through my most grevious fault / door mijn schuld / door mijn schuld / door mijn grote schuld (NL)” and repent your daily sins at Compline/Completen….
