It was announced from Buckingham Palace that the Pope fully supports the British position over the Falkland Islands!!!

Thought I'd get that in before the idiot Argentine trolls say otherwise.

Yes, that was reported in the Australian media today. You would expect the Pope to support Britain of course as the Catholic church has always supported freedom and the right to self determination for all peoples.

Its funny, she also bopped him on the head, and told him to tell his plastic president that a pope is neutral and if he does not shut his face, then the UK will do more than just split from the church of dress wearing kiddie fidlers

If a religious body cannot understand self determination and the rights of the individual, then it has no place as a religion

What a relief to get out of Italy. Poor POPE, HE LOOKS so LONELY having to go back to his lonely little room with only men and boys for company !

@3 Dany

Maybe it was only an 18 minute meeting (Her Majesty is a very busy person after all), but I'll be that 18 minutes was far more pleasant and constructive, than an hour with your Dear Leader would've been.

Of course the Pope spent the last 50 minutes of that hour trying to get rid of the pesky Argentine president who presumes she has a special relationship with the Holy See.

Not to mention the fact she had the good manners to leave politics out of it!
