Best Answer

The Catholic Church has never practiced animal sacrifice nor does the Church endorse it. You may be referring to Santeria which is practiced in some Caribbean countries as a form of witchcraft by some claiming to be Catholic but it is not part of the Church and is not approved by the Church. Anything which even hints of superstition is considered as sinful by the Church.

How are Christianity and Aztec beliefs similar?

It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. . Both religions are based on human blood sacrifice, although in the case of the Catholic religion, those sacrifices were prefigured in animal sacrifice and completed in the self-sacrifice of the God-man, Jesus Christ, on the cross. Every re-presentation of that sacrifice is offered on the altar in an unbloody manner under the forms of bread and wine. The Aztec sacrificed just about anyone, and rivers of blood flowed as they sacrificed their enemies, their children, etc.
