La Credencial del Peregrino

[Gene Silva]

There is not a shop anywhere in Spain where you could buy a pilgrim's
credential with the stamps on it, and I am  surprised and saddened that
someone should suggest it.  At any rate, the purposes of the pilgrimage
would
be negated by such fraud. It is inconceivable to me that anyone with the
minimum spiritual attitude embodied by the credential and the Compostela
would ever  consider such malfeasance..........

 .............. The above official definitions of the Compostela and the
Credential were
published by the Archdiocese in its publication "Jornadas sobre el Ano
Santo:
noviembre 1993", and they remain intact to this day.

Thanks, Rosina, I think that about says it all.
