[QUOTE="Kathar1na, post: 1146201, member: 15378"] I am surprised that you did not expect such replies. I see from your profile that you've been on the forum for quite a while and that you already walked to Santiago on a Camino. In the given context, such replies are as certain as the [I]amen[/I] in church, as the saying goes. They are not necessarily directed at you personally, more at a generic you, at Camino peregrin@s in general. There is an idea that you must not skip any section otherwise you will not find your true self, will not be transformed as you should be or could be, will not get answers to questions you might not know you have, and the Camino will give you what you need and not what you want. You have never read this before on the forum? Amazing ... 🫢 It is difficult to not touch on the ever present question of what a pilgrimage is. It is not defined by walking "all" the way on foot, that is certain; pilgrimage is not even defined by walking as such. And a Camino, especially the unique Camino Francés, how is that defined? An overall definition does not exist but that is not accepted by everybody. And that is all that is required, at least in my book. But for some, a specific inner attitude is quintessential for being on Camino and no amount of discussion in forum threads will change that - even when you have explicitly decided to avoid staying in certain categories of albergues in order to not be in conflict with certain philosophies but that is another thorny topic. Yep, the thread title attracts such responses. On the other hand, there is much to be said for a thread title that catches the attention of the reader. 🤭 [/QUOTE]
