Santa Muerte is a centuries-old pagan cult which has seen a resurgence in interest in recent years and now claims some two million faithful in Mexico. Followers range from elite politicians to kidnappers and gangsters.

The Catholic Church frowns on the cult.

That last statement seems a bit on the understated side. I suspect the official Church position on "Santa Muerta" is "they're going to hell".

I also suspect "Santa Muerta" has a strong native influence to it, considering the penchant for death cults and human sacrifices in that part of the world.
