A long time problem in the states finding enough to enter the priesthood to meet demand has spawned efforts to fill the void by soliciting priests from outside the US. A lot of the time it doesn't work out so well.
Some foreign priests had to be sent home. One became romantically entangled with a female co-worker. One isolated himself in the rectory. Still another would not learn to drive. A priest from the Philippines left after two weeks because he could not stand the cold. A Peruvian priest was hostile toward Hispanics who were not from Peru.
The good part about it is if they don't work out you can just kick their ass out but it seems these outsiders haven't been raping which is good.
The Catholics have been recruiting from all countries for quite some time..they are losing their grip on Americans it seems.. ;)
