Title: Religion Post by: snap38 on May 14, 2003, 04:00:00 AM I am full of questions today. I would like to know everyones experience with religion and the LAtina. I know the majority of people in Colombia refer to themselves as Catholics. Does this become an issue at all? Weather its during the wedding, or attending a particular faith once they are in the US.

Every girl I met there except for one considered herself Catholic. They had no idea what the doctrine of the Catholic church was or anything involved. I was under the impression they were baptized as a child and that was pretty much the extent of it.

I make it a point to mention religious values in my initial meetings with ladies. I have met 3 general types. One is evangelicals who need a man to be religious and go with them to church and church functions. Another is religious but not strongly affiliated with any organization. These ladies preferred a man who believed in something. He didn't need to be of a particular religion, or believe in the traditional God, or the same thing she believed in. The last is ladies who were not religious or concerned about a man's religion. Of the women I have met in Brazil, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic, the second category was the largest and the third the smallest. |
