Two of the reasons for this are Paraguay's traditional isolation from mainstream South America, and the fact that the government has shown less interest in religion as an institution. As a result, a number of irregular religious practices have grown up over the years. In fact, in some rural areas, priests are seen as healers and men of magic, rather than as official representatives of the Church. " |
