More humbleness from Argentina’s ruling establishment, the attendance of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner would help
But rather than humble pie, might we suggest more simple things like, Honesty truthfulness, loyalty trustworthy, faithfulness.
naa forget it, just humble themselves without putting ones foot in ones ??

Being myself from Brazil (that is, from a nation every bit as Catholic as Argentina), I can't cease to be surprised at the degree of meddling from the part of the Catholic Church in Argentinian politics.

Argentina is not so catholic or religious as seems the majority don’t care.
The church here wanted to oppose many govt. initiatives like the gay marriage and they only could put together a couple of dinosaurios.

This is a fight for $$$ the state supports the catholic church in Argentina with a budget of $2.500 millions. But the statistics say that 18,5% practise the religion while the majority never go to church.

Most of the trick is that when you are born without nobody asking you your parents may be baptised you just in case. Because I guess you cannot get married by the church or who knows why they do that?
