Glossary Term
Risk: High- Approved rendering
- llamado
- Rejected alternatives
- vocación (in the narrow sense of a call to priesthood or religious life)
Calling
CAUTION: ‘vocación’ in Catholic-majority Spanish-speaking culture is strongly associated with a call to the priesthood or consecrated religious life (‘tiene vocación religiosa’), not the general call of every believer. Use ‘llamado’ for Romans’ universal divine calling; only use ‘vocación’ with an explicit clarifying gloss.
