Earlier this month, Pope Francis made ahistoric visit to the Philippines. Many public addresses were planned, withspeeches prepared in English. At several stops, however, Pope Francis decidedto discard his prepared speeches and speak from the heart in his nativeSpanish.

While there are Spanish speakers in thePhilippines, and Spanish is closely related to that nation’s dominant nativelanguage of Tagalog, English is the Philippines' second language. The Pope’sshift to Spanish would have left hundreds of thousands of attentive Filipinoscompletely lost, creating the need for an interpreter. The Pope, it turns out,regularly travels with a priest who serves as his Spanish to Englishinterpreter, ensuring that the Holy Father can speak freely in his nativetongue and be understood nearly worldwide in the 21st Century’s lingua franca.
