ENI — The rising popularity of religious pilgrimages stems from a modern lifestyle linked to a constant search for new experiences, according to the bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes, the site of the famous Roman Catholic pilgrimage site in France.
French Bishop Jacques Perrier said, “The milieu in which we live promotes anything new or extraordinary, while religious life has always been based on regularity, which is extremely boring for a modern person who wants something extraordinary.”
