Must be an exciting time down there, Marcantilan.

Yes, everybody is pretty excited.

A little story. A few minutes ago I called my mum. I have a hearing tomorrow morning, my wife has some meetings and the lady who assists us with the kids has an appointment with the doctor (breasts implants? who cares...) I need help and in a hurry.

My mum is anti-catholic (but somehow sent her sons to a catholic school) and have an anti church rethoric. She picked the phone in tears and she could not stop speaking about how a good days this is. I interrupted her to comment my urgency and, seconds after that, she resumed talking about Bergoglio.

This is the current mood in here.

Regards!

Bergoglio sounds like a popular choice, he is reported to have been the runner up in the election for the previous Pope.

Some not-so-nice stories surfacing about Bergoglio's complicity with the military dictatorship, such as hiding political prisoners from human rights officials in his country house. I wonder what will come of all of this.

He recounts how the Argentine navy with the connivance of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, now the Jesuit archbishop of Buenos Aires, hid from a visiting delegation of the Inter-American Human Rights Commission the dictatorship's political prisoners. Bergoglio was hiding them in nothing less than his holiday home in an island called El Silencio in the River Plate.

Here we go again.

I thought that's all part of the Papal application process.

Yeah, this guy seems to be another example of clergy with a colorful past.

No, that was me mixing up joe with another joe on the forums. I was hoping to ninja edit before anyone noticed, but you caught me.

Sorry joe, mixed you up with someone else.
