An individual uses art to speak to people and interpret whatever they think or believe. Spiritualists and Santeria borrowed and blended various religious beliefs and practices to create new cultural patterns based on different historical systems. The process did not have contradiction or avoidance of redundancy as it depends on a unique and coherent system of religious beliefs and practices.
Catholicism, an element of the dominant religion, broads or extends the existing religious system without contradiction. It had spiritual significance in adherence to religious rituals for both priests and their followers.
