Voodoo doesn't have Catholicism mixed in at all, it is its own entity. Voodoo came over with the African tribes during the times of slavery.

What the Haitians (and also Cubans, etc) do is mix the two. For example, some Cubans practice Santeria which is a mixture of Voodoo and Catholicism. I suspect many Haitians do the same, and have their own name for it.
