Obviously not worth a letter. Just a routine telegram created by a minor priest. Bet there are hundreds every year!

FFS A letter or a telegram, what does it matter. Argentina could find a positive spin if it was dog shite.

Seems like dog shite to me! (ack to @4).

But what can you expect from a bunch of deluded idiots, sense?

Still, TMBOA has another “letter” to go on the wall, together with the French ones.

Must be dodgy, or why or this fuss?

When the Pope sends other letters/telegrams to other people it is kept private. Why is this one such a big deal?

Definitely dodgy behaviour here.

Not sure who, or why, but this stinks like a rotting corpse...
