My AMERICAN one today YAKKED for 25 minutes!!
They all go on too long. As for language, we have a lot of Indian priests in FLorida…and some of them are completely unintelligible. The Africans aren’t great, depending on what part of Africa they come from and their educational level, but the Indians are the champions.
That said, they seem devout and I think they’re probably good priests. But intelligibility is an issue. We have one who has to be accompanied by an American deacon who preaches in his stead (too long, of course).
Haha! Church parking lot across the street was quite full today. Don’t know how long the sermon was, but they seem to vary, judging by when everyone leaves. There is one elderly lady who is the “altar girl”, no children go to church, so they have no kids to serve Mass. The parishioners are a mix of 80+ and some of their 50-60 year-old children who drive the old folks to church. It’s technically a Mission, lost too many people to qualify as a church.
It will probably be gone within 10-15 years. The Church is going gay because the majority of the hierarchy is gay. Looks like a dead end to me, I left years ago when they kept covering up the sexual predation of minors problem decades after it was first exposed. They are still covering it up.
