We talk to the director and central figure in a PBS documentary about a Catholic church's struggles with language. "Scenes From a Parish" follows the priests and parishioners of St Patrick's in Lawrence, MA. The priests introduce more Spanish masses to cater to Lawrence's predominantly Latino population. Some English-speaking parishioners are less than thrilled. Also, how do you say Neptune and Uranus in Hebrew? The answer used to be: Neptune and Uranus. Now the two planets have Hebrew names. Finally, a New Year's Day hangover courtesy of the good people of Denmark.<img id="pri-insights" src=" http://api.pri.org/insights/?story=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pri.org%2Fstories%2F... />
