“It can be confusing - it is a “Latin” Mass not a “Latino” Mass....”
Weird. Latinos as a whole are not even into the BLM movement, which they, or at least one woman, accuse the church of ignoring. This woman seems obsessed by the church members’ Trump bumper stickers (which she says make her feel “unsafe”) and the fact that they don’t wear masks.
What a bizarre story.
“...Latino neighborhood and a long-standing, Latin-only Catholic Church...”
On another note, this use of words to describe races and groups has bothered me for a while. ‘Black’ doesn’t really mean black. A person from India might well have blacker skin, but they aren’t ‘black’.
A person whose parents immigrated from Egypt, isn’t an ‘African-American’. ‘Latino’ does not describe an Italian, even though Latin comes from Italy. I don’t think Portuguese or Brazilians count as ‘Latinos’ either even though Portuguese comes from Latin. How about Romanians or the French? Aren’t they Latino as well?
Blacks from the Dominican Republic don’t count as blacks when counting the numbers of blacks on a baseball team.
Lord knows we can’t just refer to people as people. How could we be divided.
