Really? I was conservative since birth and am largely Bavarian. I am interested in the reasons for your opinion since I am ignorant on that point and would be fascinated to learn about it. Fregards

I am interested in the reasons for your opinion

(1) Of all the places I've assisted at Mass in Western Europe, Masses in Bavaria have been the best attended.

(2) In Munich I am always impressed by how clean, well-behaved, and industrious people are - especially in such a large, cultured city. Munchners seem to care about their city with deeds, not words.

(3) Bavaria is one of the few places in Europe where my wife and I have received favorable, unsolicited comments from strangers about our sizeable family (in Paris, Rome, Barcelona it is just stares and heads shaking).

(4) Most conversations I've had with Bavarians have indicated an attitude more favorable to common sense, hard work, and liberal economics; and less favorable towards fashionable ideas, affectation, and socialism.
