Disclaimer & comment rulesDare any of them say anything else if they want those Catholic votes. Politicians will say anything in this situation, they are all hypocrites. I sincerely hope that catholic mumbo jumbo continues shrinking as it has been one of the most evil beliefs that has wreaked war, poverty and ignorance on mankind continuously for the last 2000 years.
Mar 14th, 2013 - 09:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0Ah, CaptainSilver, perhaps you prefer great atheist leaders such as Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot who collectively slaughtered more people and caused more misery than any religion ever did.

As for ignorance, go and research the significant contributions made to science and mathematics by both Christianity and Islam over “the past 2000 years” before spouting any more of your secular mumbo jumbo.
Congratulations to Catholics on the election of Pope Francis I.
I prefer the sentiments of John Lennons Imagine..... Rather than superstition, and that doesn't have to mean sympathy with odious dictators. Remembering the torture and imprisonment of Gallilio makes your ridiculous assertions about religions contribution to science ludicrous. It's universally anti scientific. From Darwin to Dawkins and from Dr Cox to Patrick Moore, all religious superstition is a busted flush.
Mar 14th, 2013 - 10:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0This new pope is a disgrace to mankind, regardless if you are a believer or not.
Mar 14th, 2013 - 10:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0#4 Stevie: I'm not a believer but I know about Pope Francis and his work as bishop. What you said in your post is nonsense.
Mar 14th, 2013 - 12:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#5 I am sure Lil stevie makes that statement because Bergoglio was a staunch critic of asslips kirchner. Infact.....the ntire la campora's are fuming and up in arms over his rise to Pope. ARgentina is split of opinion over this. Of course, asslips is publically pleased.....for now. But I don;t think she can ever publically denouce him, even when he starts in on being against gay marriage, anti abortion, and not taking care of the poor in Argentina. Goodness.....what's a peronist to do!!

1 Deny it ever happened
2 nationalize the church
3 lie
I am really looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
Mar 14th, 2013 - 02:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Its going to be more exciting than with the Kraut that's for sure. I thought John Paul did a lot to bring down the communist dictators and free large parts of the world from their despotism, but the Kraut never really achieved anything for humanity, he just seemed to repeat the same old represive backward mantra. Looks like this guy could be the same. It does look interesting with the Botox Queen though. He could hasten the end...
Mar 14th, 2013 - 02:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#9 that's why the church will never elect a young Pope again.....afraid of making too many waves. But this guy is a young 76 )lol) I hope he impacts the peronist the same way of JPII and the communists. He hates asslips and nestor
Mar 14th, 2013 - 03:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Controversy already about the new Pope and his association with the military junta:

Not new...that's what is causing the la campora uproar in Argentina
