I wonder if an X-Satanist/warlock/Santarian believes in vampires, 'cuz you know, crosses stave of vampires too! The guy said that he was raised in Santaria. All the Santarian folk I know are Catholic Christians.

So, what would you say to a Catholic Priest if you ran into one, oh, say at a social event....huh.
Would you spout this gibberish to him too.....or run like a scared little kid. Run, my bet...run.....
