Except, would the priests have been SPEAKING Latin to the Japanese?  isn't 
it more likely they were speaking their native tongue (Portuguese, right?) 
as Latin had already ceased to be used for every day speaking.

Nevertheless, I have fun with this!  When I fry chicken, I start with 
generous amounts of black and white pepper, salt and sage, then start 
randomly adding pinches of this and that until I've hit the magic number 11. 
   Never quite know how the fried chicken will taste.   The girls rejected a 
strongly cinnamon version, but have unknowingly enjoyed combos with a more 
subtle amount of cinnamon.  Tony liked the cinnamon style though.
