Lunch Audience... Be interesting to see what actually transpires. Surely even CFK wouldn't lie whilst this close to God.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 09:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0Francis 1 will define his papacy by how he deals with his country of birth. Already the Argentinian Cruella de Vil is lieing about her meeting with him. She is claiming to be having lunch with the pope, the Vatrican merely says it is an afternoon meeting. She will no doubt be trying to see if she personally has any chance of a financial or political gain out of his election.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 09:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0She went to Morocco on Tango 1, from there in a rented plane.
Mar 18th, 2013 - 09:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0Pope Francis is showing her how to be and act in live. Kretina refused to meet him here, no matters he asked more than 14 times for a meeting. Also when Kretina spoke about Bergoglio being the new Pope in an official act, the croud (Kretina's supporters) jeer at him.
Finally let me say there are strong probes about the argentine government trying to prevent Bergoglio being elected as Pope.
I see that the schools will close on the day, that is if they are not already closed because of the teachers strike. Heho another non-learning day. So much for an education in Argentina.

Mar 18th, 2013 - 02:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I find it interesting that she was scheduled to have a lunch meeting with the Pope and a few others. The Pope at the last minute changed it to a one on one with no published agenda. Considered they do not get along and her has referred to the RG leaders as totalitarism, it should prove to be a very interesting meeting. ANyone in Argentina knows that the la camporas have been agitated over Bergoglio's elevation as Pope. Personally I think she is getting a bigger slap down knowing he reduced it to just the two of them.

Unless you want a fight over them,
She will destroy Argentina over her obsession with the Falklands,
[She says,, to stop problems over great Britain militarising the south Atlantic.]
Is this a veiled threat? ]
Innocent argentines will pay a bloody high price for a tiny island, that you don’t even want,.
Be warned, she is destroying YOUR country, and can sod off with her wealth,

Can we expect a Papal Bull demanding that the Falklands be handed over to the Argentine on pain of ex-communication ?
But again, we denied his authority about 450 years ago.
