From all this I am amazed and especially indignant about the business at the expense of the pilgrim

For a few months there is a particular struggle between Lugo municipalities (except Sarria, for obvious reasons) asking that the rule Compostela deliver those pilgrims coffee warmer who have made at least 100 miles on foot is changed. Those who call for this standard are those of Triacastela, Pedrafita do Cebreiro, Samos or Portomarín, against the City of Sarria is asking you to stay as it is.
The problem is now in the court of the Archbishopric of Santiago who must decide, if it sees fit to change the rule, a rule that certain French Way Jacobean associations have called coffee warmer for at least Compostela delivered 200 kilometers. coffee warmer
I do not know as the norm of 100 kilometers on foot or bike 200 miles to the Pilgrim coffee warmer Office will exchange the famous Compostela was created, but no doubt it is a business for the Archbishopric of Santiago. If you consider that this year alone has delivered more than 210,000 and there will and provide for 1 more you stuff it into a tube is one of the great business for the Church at the height of the pilgrim.
Then there are the people of the French Way lucenses killing that changed the standard for pilgrims to Compostela to get the miles have to do more to increase coffee warmer their coffers.
From all this I am amazed and especially indignant about the business at the expense of the pilgrim with the blessing of the Church, with the support of the hospitality industry and now in this war consistories they get to cash in on the left by pilgrims on the Way Santiago. Last year the pilgrims left no less than 294 million euros.
Looking at historical notes, it says that when the pilgrims arrived in Santiago was handed a scroll that confirmed as pilgrims and also handed him a scallop coffee warmer shell with the passage of time was called the Concha de Santiago. Other historians say that only the parchment certifying that had come to Santiago and the pilgrimage to attest to their stay in the city of the Apostle also acquired the scallop shell in the old town of Compostela surrender. Much of the medieval church today, when business was viewed with a scallop seems, fell to 33% of the business and banned coffee warmer the sale of the shell outside the villa, if you do not excommunicated.
What no one has been able to explain the origin of the miles that a pilgrim must do so you get the Compostela. The first thing to consider for any Christian does not need any document that says it has been in Santiago. I sincerely believe that true Christian does with devotion, with great faith and with the idea of living the way, no study has few miles to do when I get to give Santiago coffee warmer the Compostela.
If I had the power within the Church of Santiago, was a hit at the table and eliminated that rule the miles you should do to get the Pilgrim Compostela. I think to show that you've been visiting the grave of a disciple of Christ do not need to make a minimum of kilometers. It is absurd. I as a Christian who I have to show I've been there and also what I could do with sacrifice, with many difficulties or adversities is myself. A paper does not say anything and I think a Christian less. Role is more than a half a symbol, for seven centuries if not you have done 100 miles required to give you a scroll as you've been to Santiago and have done the Camino, it seems stronger than in the twenty-first century the Church moderate and support that the miles. The Church shows that preffered do "box" that truly fight Jacobean spirit. As I wish the Pope Francisco who wants a poor Church for the poor, end this paraphernalia and achieve the compostela church down the origins of the movement and Jacobean imposed only against the spiritual economics. The pilgrims will appreciate it and I'm sure the Apostle Santiago too.
