what is the relationship of the two religions within the community?

In "The Man to Send Rain Clouds," Leon and Father Paul belong to different cultures, and there is the moment of confrontation when, at Teofilo's burial service, Father Paul asks, "Why didn't you tell me he [Teofilo] was dead? I could have brought the Last Rites anyway." Leon replies, "It wasn't necessary, Father." The conflict is resolved with Father Paul agreeing to participate in an Indian ritual. Although it is not strictly a Christian burial, the dead man receives the blessings of both traditional and Christian cultures.
