Entry 20 - Quote from La Paz, Bolivia (Chapter in "From Here to Eternity" by Doughty)

I felt in these quotes, it illustrated the intimacy that is related to the ritual of respecting ñatitas, was well as the controversy that revolves around the evolving tradition that is challenged against Catholicism beliefs, and the overwhelming response that comes from practicing Catholics, that actually rejoice in the process of the ritualistic practices involving ñatitas.

"In La Paz, it was just me and---alas, poor Sandra."
 - Caitlin Doughty


"They don't wish to appear to be bad Catholics. There is still an underground aspect to the practice. Many more Bolivians keep ñatitas than would ever admit to it publicly."
