Wesner Morancy, ki se responsab Komisyon Nasyonal Striktirasyon Vodou a pale avèk Jean Dominique sou jefò l ap fè pou striktire epi fòmalize vodou ann Ayiti. Nan vodou Morancy a, se Olowoun ki granmèt la. Morancy kwè li enpòtan ekri tout sa ki gen nan vodou a, pou l pa rete sèlman nan oralite, paske vodou se yon patrimwann li ye. Li enpòtan tou pou vodouyizan ki al lekòl tounen nan lakou yo avèk konesans yo jwenn. Morancy ak Dominique pale sou sa "men dwat men gòch" vle di, epi lyen ant vodou ak divalyeris. Dapre Morancy, striktirasyon Vodou a pral pemèt yo lite kont esteryotip negatif ki genyen sou vodou a, ki ka ankouraje entolerans ak pèsekisyon (pa egzanp, sa k ap fèt Bwa Kayiman kote yon bann pastè pwotestan ap eseye dechouke epi konvèti Boukman). Dominique takine Morancy: "Misye Morancy, ou gen dyaletik sou ou. M pa konn si se Èzili ki ba w dyaletik la!"
Wesner Morancy of the Commission Nationale de Structuration du Vodou speaks with Jean Dominique about efforts to structure and formalize Vodou in Haiti. In Morancy's conception of Vodou, the supreme being is Olorun. Morancy believes it is important to create a written record of Vodou and not merely keep it in the realm of orality, because Vodou is part of national heritage, and for Vodouisants who have gone to school to bring their knowledge back to their lakous. Morancy and Dominique discuss what it means to work with the right hand and the left hand, and associations of Vodou with Duvalierism. According to Morancy, structuring Vodou will allow for some of the negative stereotypes about Vodou to be dispelled, which can lead to intolerance and persecution (such as recent efforts by Protestant pastors in Bois Caïman to to "dechouke" and convert Boukman). Dominique teases Morancy about his seemingly holding multiple points of view at once -- "was it Erzulie who gave you those dialectics?"
Wesner Morancy de la Commission Nationale de Structuration du Vodou discute avec Jean Dominique de ses efforts pour structurer et formaliser le vodou en Haïti. Dans sa conception du vodou, l’être suprême est Olowoun. Morancy croit important de rédiger tout ce qui existe dans le vodou pour ne pas rester dans l’oralité, parce que le vodou est un patrimoine. Il est important que les vodouisants qui vont à l’école reviennent dans les « lakou » avec les connaissances acquises. Morancy et Dominique discutent de la signification de « main droite et main gauche » et des liens entre le vodou et le duvaliérisme. D’après Morancy, la structuration du vodou permettra de lutter contre les stéréotypes négatifs existants qui encouragent l’intolérance et la persécution contre les vodouisants (par exemple, ce qui se passe au Bois Caïman où des pasteurs protestants essaient de convertir de déchouquer Boukman). Dominique taquine Morancy sur ses capacités d’analyse dialectique : « Monsieur Morancy, est-ce que c’est Erzulie qui vous a appris la dialectique? »
