No doubt he will pop over to see his small flock in the Falkland Islands and be the first Pope to do so.He would be very welcome by everyone.

There aren't many golden statues of Mary in the Falklands for him to pray to for magic-luck, so I doubt it's on his top ten list of vacation spots.

“......the collapse of the regime following the resounding defeat of the junta by the United Kingdom.”
He seems like a very nice man, besides being Pope. Let him go to Argentina for Christmas, this was his home.
