Refugio Gaucelmo and the monks of Monasterio San Salvador del Monte Irago, Rabanal del Camino.
The Confraternity of Saint James, responsible for, in partnership with the Asociación de Amigos del Camino de El Bierzo, the pilgrim Refugio Gaucelmo next door to the Monastery of San Salvador in Rabanal, is shocked and saddened by the situation whereby the monks have had to leave Rabanal and return for the moment to the monastery of St-Ottilien, their mother house.
The Confraternity has written to both the Bishop of Astorga and Arch Abbot of St-Ottilien, asking them to ensure that the situation is resolved speedily and that the worship offered for the village and particularly for pilgrims is resumed as quickly as possible.

I guess after reading the above, I saw were the discussion was going and I don't think we should get into these conflicts that is happening around the world. I guess I consider that not pilgrim related.Now how the heck does one jump from a conversation about a very local dispute going on in a small town in a western democracy with an elected government, freedom of expression and religion etc, to comparisons with Cambodia, Bosnia, massacres, atrocities and watching the blood flow??
