Congolese Catholicism

Sorry I’m not able to check sources, but the lead implies that Catholicism’s only influence on Palo was from colonial times. The Kingdom of Kongo and some neighbouring kingdoms converted to Catholicism in the 15th and 16th centuries (Catholic Church in Kongo), would this not have had a more profound influence on Palo?

a couple of translation/loanword questions

Two things I'm not sure about, based on what I know of Spanish:

Ngangas cristiana and judía: this section has a few inconsistencies in how it pluralizes nganga cristiana and nganga judía. In addition to the form in the section title, it uses nganga cristianas, judía ngangas, and ngangas cristianas. The last one is what I'd expect in standard Spanish (adjective follows the noun, both take the plural suffix) - is there a reason not to use it consistently?
Tratados is translated as "pacts" or "deals" in one place, and tratado is translated as "treaty" in another - any of these might be correct but I wonder if giving different translations in different places is more confusing than only translating it in one place, perhaps as "pacts", "deals", or "treaties".
