A Catholic splinter group in Peru has named itself the "Peruvian Church of Cthulhu" and vows to adhere only to the law of "who will be eaten first." Its members say they started the group to protest the intense Catholicism in Peru. "We're not Catholic; we're Cthulolic," they say. One of these Cthulolics explains their strange adherence to the tentacular, North American tradition:
I live in a country (Peru) with a very strong catholic church. Even theconstitution recognizes it as one of the main institutions here. Inschools, everybody takes “religion”, which is just “catholicism”.
Everybody seems to be catholic (or christian) here.
What is funny, is that most of these people don’t even know enoughabout their own religion or the bible to have a decent conversation (I
have read the bible entirely a couple of times, it is one of myfavorite science fiction books ever, the book of Job is amazing).
Long live the Latin American Deep Ones!
