Anglo Parishioners in Oklahoma Vent Frustrations to Bishop, Walk Out of Confirmation Mass Celebrated in Spanish
(Hat tip: Catholic World News)
From the official newspaper of the Catholic Diocese of Tulsa:
“A sense of disruption” was the phrase used several times to describe how many Englishspeaking parishioners – some of whom were founding members of the 55-year-old parish – have felt since Father Tim Davison arrived 2 1/2 years ago and intensified efforts to reach out to the growing Hispanic community within the parish.My Comments:
I find it the height of irony that the descendants of white settlers who homesteaded in the Oklahoma Territory - thereby encroaching on land that had been specifically set aside for American Indians - are now bitching about the encroachment of Mexican immigrants.
Is there a Cherokee word for "chutzpah"?
UPDATE
By definition, a "Sooner" is an illegal immigrant.

There's a simple solution: hold the Confirmation Mass in Latin.
Publius, that's what I was about to say. :)
