Any possibility of getting a good priest from Latin America?

When I lived in Atlanta, I knew a good priest from Ireland (in Atlanta) as well as a good priest from Columbia.

Getting priests from other countries is happening across the country.

I don't know if the Philippines has a surplus of priests.

Getting a Spanish speaking priest in that part of the country may be a plus. The English of such priests may be questionable.

But would one rather have a good priest with questionable English or a bad priest with good English?

There are problems with bringing priests in - work visas, and perhaps a cost factor.

Your brother may know this better than anyone.

Helping to serve the Hispanic population may be a greater need -- without knowing the exact situations...

A Spanish-speaking priest could always say Latin masses, though, and I think there are those from Latin America who like the Latin Rite.

We’ve done the Latin America thing a few times.

They tend to be communists, and their Spanish does not resemble the Spanish of New Mexico, except very superficially.

It’ll work out.

If not, I’ll make my brother officiate.

I’m still the older brother, and still bigger and meaner.
