Why does the Cursillo Movement use its own terminology, such as Ultreya, Palanca, Rollo, etc.?
These Spanish terms came with the Movement to the United States in 1957. They are helpful in a bi-lingual situation. However, except for the ones that cannot be successfully translated, such as Ultreya and Palanca, the proper English terms should be used. The Leaders’ Manual does not use, for example, the words Rollo or Rectora, but rather ‘talk’ and ‘team coordinator’.
