Thank you, this is fantastically helpful! Is this the same for people's titles when they are a Doctor, the mayor, in the police eg a captain or in the military eg a Colonel? Also, if someone is retired from the military, do they still continue to be called by their title?

How to address a priest in Bolivia by: Anonymous
When Catholics talk about a priest, we refer to him as "el sacerdote" or "el padre". When we are speaking TO a specific priest we call him "Padre (insert first name)", for example "Padre Juan". When speaking ABOUT a specific priest, we would use the first and last name. For example, "El Padre Juan Sanchez".
Other religions (evangelical, for example) may call their priest a pastor which in Spanish is also "pastor".
