South America is famed for its brand of Catholicism and Bolivia so far has been the most impressive for this. Superstition, idolatry virgins and evangelic preachers are the norm in a country that is so impoverished like Bolivia. Similar superstitions and traditions were in Asia. While listening to this band thumping out hymns on their lambegs and trumpets an earnest parishioner approached me to hand me a religious flyer. It said “Who do you serve? The Devil or God?” with an eerie illustration of the Devil, God and an indecisive Bolivian on his knees.
