And we thought the Australians were casual toward religeon?
These Roman Catholics here are the slackest type of practicing Christians I've ever come across! In general, it appears the Argentinians are extremely tolerant of religeous belief. One assumes because of their Spanish & Italian heritage that they're all of the RC faith but you'd never know it!
There's an absence of churches, which means the melodious sound of a churchbell is rarer still!
This only became noticeable because of the approach of Christmas. Not a Nativity Scene in sight. Not anywhere! Provoked, I asked my work colleagues about who'd be attending Midnight Mass for Christmas? Not a single person, nor did they even consider it a custom. They muttered something about the main church in the centre of the downtown area might have such a service but nobody seemed certain of it ... ?
This attitude to religeon certainly agrees with me!! I did miss the bells on Christmas day though.
