Latino Carholics

Why should I learn Spanish and minister to this Latino brand of Catholic? Well, the assumption is that I was here first, this is English speaking America, and if you want to live here, get with the program.  Problem. I was not here first. Colorado was at one time Mexico. The Catholic Church was here and it spoke Spanish, and made a big deal of fiesta and the Virgin of Guadalupe. We took this land, call it ours, took away prep retry of Mexicans, and fave it to the white pioneers. Our history said little about the existence of this Mexican church and landowning Mexicans. Read "Latino Catholicism" by Timothy Matovina.  Only 328 pages.
