What I wrote was what I understood the message to be. If "..center of the universe.." you wrote was his intended message I did not get it. I sort of mentally checked out after the smirky, s muggy "..not all Catholics speak mmmmm English..."

I know that French is spoken an some African nations. Most people know this. The gentleman who did the first reading did not speak the language he was reading - it just seemed like he was reading it (I am sure he practiced beforehand but it was obviously not his native language). Nothing...

I agree.

Well said.

It was not the foreign language per se, it was the whole contrived set-up aspect and smug attitude of the priest that was offensive. The only message I received from that homily was "All of you English speaking Americans out there are too stupid or self absorbed to know that all people on Earth...

Nope, Chicago suburbs. I did not see a big deal about the whole different language thing, in and of itself, either. But when the priest grinned and said "not all Catholics speak English" - there was just something about his expression that rubbed me the wrong way. I guess I am lucky to...

I used to attend a parish further from my home, but due to scheduling (and other) issues I have started to attend my local parish which is just a few minutes away. The parish is over half Mexican so I attended one of the English Masses. The first reading was presented by a guy in African garb...

This H1B scam has not been taken care of by courts, legislatures or the American people. My hope is this article will open American eyes. Most people do not know about our worker visa programs and many actually believe the lie that we do not have qualified Americans. One has to ask - why do...

Not just California - the whole country. Republicans and Democrats voted for the H1B bill.

This has been going on for years in all science, tech and education industries. This is just the first article I have seen on it. I know a man (20 years experience) who had to train his H1B Indian replacement.

We did not go - 13 inches here.
