(Ed.s Note: On today's "Con Mi Gente," section by Rick Diaz on Channel 5 he featured the dedication of a prayer garden in Port Isabel's Lady of the Sea Catholic Church, he totally ignored pointing out that the church had made the common mistake of confusing the words "calvary" and "cavalry."

Writing explained.org explains it this way: "These two words are wholly unrelated, but they often get confused. Calvary is a proper noun that refers to the hillside on which Jesus was crucified. Cavalry is a group of highly mobile army troops."

As can readily be seen, the plaque refers to the horse-mounted Oblates but uses the word that refers to the hill.

Since it involves a church, it's understandable that ,"calvary" which refers to the hill where Christ was crucified would take precedence in the minds of the clergy and parishioners.

The color painting of the Cavalry of Christ was painted from a black-and-white photograph of the priests by Harlingen artist Angel Hernandez. Diaz should have known better.)
