Aparecida Virgin ? these nutjobs will grasp at anything to promote Catholicism. Found by poor workers, pagan images springs to mind.

El Papa, always the politician but not always right... Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff, said in 2012 when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires that Britain had “usurped” the disputed islands from Argentina. In 2011, he said the islands were “ours,” a view most Argentinians share. He's wrong of course:

The Dope of an Argy Pope continues to live up to the tag I have given him.

No real surprise there though!

The dopey pope has to maintain his 'flock' in SA though, after all it's the only area of the globe that maintains this pre-medieval load of horse shit.

The Pope needs advisors that know what they are talking about......he should be happy with the fat cow's removal.

:o))
Pope Francis was sad with Dilma's removal?

He would be VERY sad with the removal of Eduardo Cunha as well [and eventually, Lula] - THAT should increase the capital of the Bank of Vatican, undoubtedly!
