Pope to say D.C. Mass in Spanish in bow to 'Hispanic population'
Washington Examiner ^ | 2 Sep 15 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 09/02/2015 3:50:40 PM PDT by SkyPilot

In a bow to the huge U.S. Hispanic population and the Catholic Church's advocacy of immigration, Pope Francis plans to give his Washington Mass Sept. 23 in Spanish, according to Cardinal Donald William Wuerl.

"The Mass is going to be in Spanish," Wuerl said Wednesday while previewing the pope's trip to reporters.

"It's a recognition of how large the Hispanic population in the United States is," said Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington. "And he's coming as the first pope from the New World and the predominant language in this hemisphere is Spanish," added Wuerl of the Argentine-born pope.

Francis, meanwhile, will use his address to Congress to call for bipartisanship, something missing for several years as Republicans and President Obama have jockeyed for power. In that speech he will speak English.

Well, Spanish IS closer to Latin than English is.

Spanish is his first language, did JPII perform Mass in the USA in English? (also not his first language).

I'm guessing he did.

This Pope is an embarrassment to the Church and the Jesuits in particular.

St. Malachy says he's the last Pope.

He is sure acting like it.

I lived in California at the time, and Roger Mahoney was the cardinal in Los Angeles.

A semi-famous priest named Father Tom Doyle was the first one who told me the cathedral he built was called the "Taj Mahoney." I know that is common place knowlege in the internet era, but I was doubled over in laughter at the time.

Big deal. The 11:00 mass was in Spanish when I was a kid in New Mexico.

Maybe Jeb! and his English-illiterate hunchback dwarf wife can join the Argentinian communist at the pulpit to condemn America and demand national merger with Mexico.

Another way to put it:

The POPES have been spearheading ETHNIC CLEANSING in the United States. The affirmative-action Hispanic bishops lobby for open borders. All the self-hating Irish and Italian bishops join in, because they want brownie points with the Pope. The ETHNIC CLEANSING is most advanced in California.

The POPES of the CATHOLIC CHURCH, by appointing bishops who HATE the pro-life movement, who want to import more and more pro-abortion voters, are among the most powerful pro-abortion forces at work in the United States. In the fight against abortion, it is largely the pro-life laity vs. the pro-abortion bishops.

Mahoney was the guy I walked out on in the middle of an anti-Vietnam War sermon in 1971.

Piss on him.

It looks like something some schizophrenic homeless people would put together from refrigerator crates.

I met Fr. Tom Doyle when he was a secretary at the Apostolic Delegation in Washington. The other secretary was Fr. Tim Dolan. They were often mistaken for one another, because of their names.

They are easy to tell apart now, because one of them sold his soul to Satan, and now wears a red beanie.

Why not do it in Latin, like it used to be! I have no use for this pontiff!
