And which is the richest church on earth? I will give you one guess, why do you think it is so secretive about its accounts?

But… Argentina is a country built by greed. Stolen land, genocided native population, adjacent countries robbed. Its a way of life, VC is a national trait. But, they came unstuck when they tried to steal the Falkland Islands.
Any hope of refirm, any chance of a change in national characteristics. The whole place is founded on Spanish theiving and Popery. Not a chance.

Perhaps this archbishop should put his name in the hat to govern Argentina, he seems to know everything, mind you hindsight is a wonderful thing. All very well saying things, so perhaps the Catholic Church will put their hands in their pockets and help the impoverished. Just an observation

Correction - NOT “I'm sure 1, s, 3, 4, and 5 will all become this news.” BUT “I'm sure 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 will all WELCOME this news.”
