What a load of crap!

Got religion have they or do they recognise that The Dope of a Pope is keen to meddle in things he should keep his big argie nose out of?

Really amuses me that now that Latinos have got their Pope he is seen as the answer to all their problems. The biggest problems tbey have apart from Mexican syndrome (remember the Top Gear take on that!) is the Popes opposition to any form of birth control and abortion leading to a population that they struggle to feed house and clothe. He could instead have a go at the widespread practices of lying, stealing, and cheating, particularly from his own countrymen.

Francis is a prick. Imagine saying that the papacy won't interfere and then wandering around with a sign demanding “dialogue”. Here's a bit of dialogue. “We want....”. “Piss off”. Next week we'll be bombing the Vatican. Keep your nose out of affairs that have nothing to do with you. Who would listen to the paedophile catholic church?

Sorry Marcos, the Vatican slapped down that stunt so quickly that Cristina has trouble sitting.

If the Vatican getting involved in the peace process in Colombia helps it then I am all for it. I am not a fan of the Pope, the Vatican nor FARC; however they all exist and anything that will help Colombia finally solve this conflict has my support.
