In matters of religion,the natives proceeded more barbaracously and with greater blindness than in all the rest.
For besides being pagans,without any knowledge of the true God, they neither strove to discover Him by the
way of reason,nor had any fixed belief. The devil usually deceived them with a thousand errors and
blindnesses. He appeared to them in various horrible and frightful forms, and as fierce as animals, so that they
feared him and trembled before him. They generally worshipped him and made images of him in the said
forms. These they kept in caves and private houses, where they offered them perfumes and odors and foods
and fruits, calling them Anitos.
Others worshiped the sun and the moon,and made feasrs and drunken revels at the conjunction of
those bodies. Some worshiped a yellow-colored bird that dwells in their woods called Batala. They generally
worship and adore the crocodiles when they see them, by kneeling down and clasping their hands,becaue of
the harm that they receive from those reptiles; they that by so doing the crocodiles will become appeased and
leave them. Their oaths,execrations, and promises are all as above mentioned, namely,may buhayan eat thee, If
thou dost not speak truth, or fulfill what thou hast promised and similar things.
There were no temples throughout those islands, nor houses generally used for the worship of idols
but each person possessed and made in his house his own anitos, wihout any fixed rite or ceremony.
They had no priests or religious to attend to religious affairs, except certain old men and women called
Catalonas. These were experienced witches and sorcererd, who kept the other people deceived. The
latter communicated to these sorcerers their desires and needs, and the catalonas told them
innumerable extravagancies and lies. The catalonas uttered prayers and performed other ceremonies to
the idols for the sick; and they believed in omens and superstitions, with which the devil inspired the,
whereby they declared whether the patient would recover or die. Such were their cures and methods,
and they used various kinds of divinations for all things. All this was with so little aid, apparatus, or
foundation which God permitted, so that the preaching of the holy gospel should find those of the
region better prepared for it, and so that those natives would confess the truth more easily, and it
would be less difficult to withdraw them form their darkness, and the errors in which the devil kept
them for so many years. They never sacrificed human beings as is done in other kingdoms. They
believed that there was a future in life where those who had been brave and performed valiant feats
would be rewarded; while those who had done evil would be punished . But they did not know how or
where this would be.
they buried their dead in their own houses, and kept their bodies and bones for a long time in
chests. They venerated the skulls of the dead as if they were living and present. Their funeral rotes did
not consist of pomp or assemblages, beyond those of their own housewhere, after bewailing the dead,
all was changed into feasting and drunken revelry among all the relatives and friends.
