Jeeeezz please this post was about curches in santiago.
Santiago is not at the beach and wearing long pants, you get used to it .
Now any more questions about the topic ?
I also recomend the cathedral infront of parque colon in the center, maybe easier to go then in los cerros , i ques when you go to santiago you more hang out in the centr of the city but i do recomend going to other places as well, santiago is a big city and outside of the ugly calle del sol it has a lot to offer . I also as being said before recomend going to centro leon jimenez. Ive seen the art, i especialy likes the museum. Old spanish coins etc. Nice to see

If you are talking about the cathedral in Santo Domingo on the side of Parque Colon...it is called Santamaria la Menor ..No matter which catholic church you go to be aware that all are quite ghastly with people talking on cell phones, much chattering ,no reverance to the Cross or Crucifix or in some churches there is an plaster image of a saint above the commumion table.. people come and go therouht the mass...you wull hardly ever find a stoop of holy water at the entrance and nearly no one bows or genuflects or says the proper responses ...It is no surprise that only about 5% of catholics go to church. Everything is pitiful even compares to other latin catholic countries such as Costa Rica or Colombia , The worst thing is the homily ..which can be a mixture of total old fashioned threats togther with statements on not what to do .. Forget the text for the day . The masses here are just a complete disappointment ,,inmy opinion ..
i dunno. i found masses here a lot better than in poland. it helps not to understand everything that is being said, maybe. but DR churches are more welcoming and warmer. and maybe i was lucky because the preaching was also always pretty good and interesting. generally here there is more singing, and joyful songs too, not howling of the wolves you'd hear in poland. the best mass i have been to was in london and it was in latin. just pure, classic and simple liturgy. i understand why the church wanted to keep it that was, it's beautiful.
Yea, Kipling333 this is good stuff to know. I thought it would be cool to experience the Latin Mass, having no idea of what
to expect. That's part of what I like about traveling in the DR, not knowing really what to expect from the Dominican people.
dv8: you seem to be relating the same kind of thing I'm looking to experience there, so thanks for your comments. I remember
the Latin mass as child, and even though I'm not a hard core Catholic or fluent in the Spanish I thought it would be cool
to experience this cultural event.
I have a great memory of walking through the barrio with my Dominicana friends and seeing a store front style church, full
singing, dancing speaking in the tongue Evangelical Presbyterians. It was awesome. Next door to the church was a barber
shop / coffin parlor.

I don't get all the consternation about dressing neatly for church. Would one go to a business meeting in ratty old shorts and flip flops? Well church is your business meeting with God. Also, I like the more formal aspect of DR society and culture. Places like the US have gotten way to casual. What's wrong with dressing like a man and not a little boy or bum when you leave the house?
