do you travel outside of your immediate area? i think you may have a parochial view of things based on your very liberal diocese.

I do. My diocese is no more "liberal" than any other diocese.

You will find more Latin Masses in the Northeast because of the high concentration of Catholics. There are a large number of Catholics in Texas, too, but the Hispanics prefer Spanish Masses to Latin Masses.

Every priest in our diocese has to have a working knowledge of Spanish, and they all seem to. I suspect permanent deacons will as well, soon.

every church in the DC area has at least one spanish mass, usually two. liberal is in the eye of the beholder and i understand that the Dallas diocese is very liberal. i have seen the upstate NY dioceses with my own eyes, they are extremely liberal. the diocese of Arlington (VA), overall, is not too bad. my particular parish is excellent.
