As a Catholic priest and monseñor, who is now retired, in the Diocese of San Diego, where I have attended the Catholic community in its parishes, I have also suffered the discrimnating and despotism that the Diocese of San Diego and its parsons (vicars) practice against Spanish-Americans.  After years of not being able to explain the conduct of these Anglo-Saxon priests to myself, and annoting the existing differences between the education and Christianity received and learned by Hispanics and their churches and the teachings of these Anglo-Saxon churches, I have come to the following conclusions:

A) The Catholicism in the San Diego Diocese, in its pastoral programs, mostly toward Catholics of Hispanic origin, is a progamtic philosophy, that is, an American materialistic philosophy with very little spiritual values, which are contrary to what we learned from the Tridentine Council.

B) The Ecclesiastical Hierarchy, bishops, chancellors, parsons, administrators and office personal, etc, obey a capitalist administration and business organization more than a Christian organization of love, poverty and respect towards our Catholic traditions.

C) The percentage of Hispanics abandoning Catholicism to become evangelists or, as they say, more Christian, is of such magnitude, that I have accumulated several statistics’ showing that this is the Diocese from which the majority of members are separating, including priests, friars, and nuns who are frustrated and are seeking Christ in truth.
