Seriously i don’t know
Okay first and foremost, my family was IN EVERY CORNER OF CATHOLISM AND CHRISTIANITY EVEN IN THE SECTS. I am ashamed but when i became adult, they started to become normal. But it is still hard. My father and mother were rich but became sad when they had debts. My father became more and more extremist. And my mother wanted to divorce him MANY TIMES. When my dad understood that his "religeous friends manipulated him. He CUT TIES FROM THEM.It was hard became he became the father i wanted to see again.
I admire him but the damages are still there.
I am african (with mixed ancestry) Angolan
and I am a Kongo (tribe or ethnicity NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COUNTRIES ).
Okay long story short,the Kingdom of Kongo (North of Angola)was the first in 1482 to have interactions with europeans. First ,it was a cultural exchanges,there were kongos in Lisbonne. The thing is the group itself was fascinated by the cross because it look like the dikenga cross. The catholicism is the reason why we were colonized AND MANY DARKER REASONS

The king Alphonso friends with colonizers fought against his brother (pro africans believing) for the trone (Alphonso killed him). As an idiot, Alphonso wanted europeans to work with him but the king manuel of Portugal TRAPPED him which caused the slave trade. Under the colonization, we mixed our natural believing with europeans ones but it back fired rapidily. So the knowledges about that cross disappeared from the African continent(even the supremacist or tribalist don’t know it )
I don’t know why but i am linked with that thing. It grows in me.
