I'm not sure if he intended to. It is perfectly legitimate to attend a function held by another Christian confession if no catholic churches are available. I remember a friend (italian resident in Germany, catholic) who told me she once was in Boulder, Colorado, and since she could not find a catholic church, she attended a function in a local (protestant of some sort) church. She was quite amused of the fact the local priest welcomed her and asked her if she wanted some sort of "certificate of attendance" (the reason of the amusement was she was imagining the face SOME priests she knew at home would do seeing such a document :-)). Anyhow I would not normally expect in a country functions to be held in a non-native language, unless there is a strong immigrant community. For instance in Milan there is probably a church with catholic functions in Spanish for the south-american community, and definitely there is an anglican church with function in English, but I won't expect any place to held catholic functions in English for tourists. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- is a newsreading account used by more persons to avoid unwanted spam.
