Paganism and catholicism always lived together and there are strong pagan influxes in most of the popular tradition.
Let it alone Aradia or stregheria (never heard about tanarri before reading it on the internet) many of use were brought up in environment where the catholicism was a thin veil.
I do not know if one day the latin country will develop something like voodo I suppose that one day we will be able to keep all what we are together: being pagan people living in a country with a strong cath tradition that is part of their own history.
