Hey, Flood! Great to see you again! We should get back in touch by TG... but probably not right now, as I am traveling and only have time to get on NS a couple of times per week.

This is South America we're talking about here. If you're Catholic, there's definitely going to be a church nearby.

This is a common misconception from developed countries though.
I literally had someone, a protestant fellow, be worried about food and shelter in El Salvador.
People, just because most of you call it "third-world" doesn't mean "literally the middle of fucking nowhere".

It's a village up in the highlands in a mostly Aymara-speaking area. I think my concern is justified.
Also, I was kind of asking just in general. Is it sinful to live in an area without access to a church?

Can you explain to me how you construe Basil's words to mean, "If anyone has more than you, murder them and take it"?

And I love bringing up St. Nino every time someone foolishly claims that the prohibition on female clergy somehow hinders women from leadership roles. St. Nino brought an entire nation to Christ, without being part of the clergy.
But most impressively, Georgia has this guy, whoever he is. That guy is the very definition of cool.
Constantinopolis wrote:Okay, I have to ask, because this question has been bugging me for YEARS:
Why don't you guys just officially ask the world to refer to your country as "Sakartvelo" in every language, and be done with it??
Other countries have done similar things before. In the early 20th century, Persia officially asked the world to start calling it by its native name - Iran - and that's what everyone calls it now. More recently, Burma asked to be called Myanmar (an English spelling of its native name), and most people and governments have started doing so.
Just ask the world to call your country by its native name - Sakartvelo - and the confusion will end.

Kartvelians. Or possibly Kartvels.
As I understand it, in the Georgian language, a word construction in the pattern Sa____o means "Land of the ____ people". Thus, a person from Sakartvelo is a Kartvel.

Since they mean the same, except that the latter one is supposedly not blasphemous?
