So this pope is anti-kircher-demagogery and pro malvinas. His only hope is to pray to the lord or maybe lord ganesh or perhaps the thetans or allah Zeus or Odin or the Force... best to cover all bases.

'Cristina asked Francisco “his brokerage” for Falklands
The President told a luncheon alone, management asked for dialogue with the United Kingdom. He said the pope's hallmark “is simplicity.” And defined it as “our Pope, not Argentina, but because it is of all Catholics.”

The simple reality is that while the UK and FI benefit from resolution of the FI issue (since they have all the winning cards including the most important one, the expressed and overwhelming wishes of islanders), AR will NEVER benefit from such resolution -- unless it wishes to put its neocolonialist fantasies behind it and faces the reality that the Islands were never really theirs nor will they ever be. As such, they mistakenly see ~having~ a dispute as being far better for AR standing than actually moving to ~resolve~ it like grownups.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 10:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The real question should be:
Mar 18th, 2013 - 10:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How many Catholics does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Seven PLUS one Protestant. One Protestant to nail a sign to the door of the monastery in Latin, explain 95 reasons why the light is burned out, THEN, one Catholic to call Rome and ask if it's okay to change the bulb, one to hold the ladder for the other one to climb and change it, one to hide the ladder and deny the bulb ever burned out, two to convene a council to declare any view that the bulb EVER burned out as heretical and one to cut and paste responses from Catholic Answers to show Protestants that the bulb really didn't change, it DEVELOPED.
And to even the score:
How many Church of England Vicars does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 4. 1 to change the light bulb, and 3 to set up a society to preserve the old one.
How many Argentines does it take to change a light bulb?
A: One footballer, but he'll deny it and say it was the Hand of God!
How many Brits does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None, because the sun never sets on the British Empire. ;)
Just a bit of levity to break up the usual 'tennis' match.
haha, the catholic church is so stupid, they could have elected a pope from another south american country and saved themselves a load of grief, they are going to be getting harassed by Kirchner morning noon and night. I notice there has been no immediate statement from his popeship, probably wondering how the hell he is going say anything without pissing off the Queen and HM Government. She just never learns Kirchner, what a position to put the guy in during his first week in office, I mean, im not catholic and i dont give a shit about catholacism, but its a dirty trick to dump on someone in their first week in the job. lol

Thank God, problems of “epic stupidity” are not in the Vatican's agenda!

The problem faced by the Cardinals was that the only other possible candidates were pro Curia, in other words the corrupt Vatican government. Bergoglio was the only anti-corruption candidate.
As an added benefit he is totaly against populist governments, which he has termed as “close to devil worship” when speaking of Chávez's government. This was his main complaint against the Kirchners, that they put personal power, and wealth, above the need for doing away with poverty.
Pope Francisco's first priority will be the thorough cleaning out of the Catholic Church, starting with the peadophilliac priests and going on with doing away with the corruption in the Curia. The Falkland Islands will come a long way down his list of “things to do”!!!!!!!!
Cristina Kirchner never said the Vatican is referee Malvinas conflict.
Mar 19th, 2013 - 02:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Requested mediation mediation to bring the parts, something very different, as it is not an arbitral tribunal.
What is alarming is the growing arms race and nuclear threat to attack British implicit Argentina, to claim peacefully in international forums and claim what belongs under international law. I endorse multilateral organizations like the UN, OAS, CELAC, UNASUR, MERCOSUR and equivalents of Africa and Asia.
Further evidence that Argentina seeks dialogue and peace under international law and the resolutions of the UN General Assembly (2065) and the committee of United Nations decolonization.
World public opinion welcomes this proposal, because unfortunately UK remains committed to the power of weapons, violence and colonialism and imperialism of the 21st century.
Welcome then this contribution to peace and dialogue.
“Further evidence that Argentina seeks dialogue and peace under international law” Basura! If this were true Argentina would agree to allow the International Court of Justice to try the vies of both sided and then decide. Argentina will not agree to this because international law is not on their side.

Mar 19th, 2013 - 11:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0UK remains committed to the power of weapons, violence and colonialism and imperialism of the 21st century.”
If it weren't for Argentina's violence in 1982 and your defence minister's assertion that if it weren't for UK forces in FI then Argentina would invade again, then UK forces would not be in the Falklands.
Argentina is to blame.
Argentina's Imperialism and colonialism is being prevented by the anti-colonialist UK forces.
Argentina wants to grab land that was never theirs-that is colonialism.
Britain used to do that ,but gave it up by de-colonising countries which did not want British rule in the 20th century.
No violence has beeen shown by the UK to Argentina, nothing has been fired at Argentina's forces since 1982.
Argentina still lives in the 19th century aiming to be a colonialist power.
The only violent nation is Argentina,
Mar 20th, 2013 - 12:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The only aggressor is Argentina
The only abuser is Argentina,
The only harasser of the innocent is Argentina
The only ignorer of UN rules is Argentina
The only ignorer of the freedom of the seas is Argentina
The biggest headache in the world is Argentina,
Notice how the name Argentina keeps popping up.
Leave the islanders alone and concentrate on your own country.
