The new Pope is an Argentinian, good news for the country that needs good news.
Will it affect any of us in a bad way? More scrutiny on Mongers, sexual tourism and Prostitution?
Don't know.

Puts Argentina on the map and in the news world wide. Not good!

Meet at Exedra Friday to discuss with the local Catholic girls.As a recovering Catholic and ex Altar Boy it brings me a good feeling that the new Pope is an Argie.
The question still lingers:
Does the Pope shit in the woods?

May I burn in Hell with ALL of my good friends!

Just meassure your words, or go back where you are coming from.He did come back from where he came from you numbskull he was born here, he's a native Argentine. And if you paid any attention in Catechism once a Catholic ALWAYS a Catholic unless excomunicated. So he is both Argentine and Catholic and presumably allowed to insult himself.
To quote the sage, Bugs Bunny "What a maroon." JAJAJAJAJAJAJA.

Insulting catholics doesn't go well in Argentina. Just meassure your words, or go back where you are coming from.I am a Catholic, was forced to go to church 4 days a week for many years so I can joke about anything; I was an Altar Boy but they did NOT alter me.
I'm very happy that a local boy won the election. The joke about the woods was really for a friend of "Ours" on this board.
If you REALLY want to know what I think to be true:
You CAN'T be a true monger and a good Catholic at the same time. Read the BOOK! It's an excellent novel.
It's so funny to watch a working girl make the sign of the cross as she walks by a church on the way to a Telo or to watch her crucifix swing from her neck while your pounding away!
TL.
P.S. Unfortunately I was BORN in BA. (Belgrano).
Tonto , in English is not the same as TONTO , maybe has an accent but still funny ! I would NOT be on this board or in this country if I was not a real Argie !
Sometimes I am ashamed of being a local . So yes , you can go back to where you came from but I CAN'T !
Many liberals, and virtually all extreme socialists have trouble with organized religion. Madame Presidente has been at odds with the Cathoilc Church for many years. I am not catholic, but very impressed by the church's "out of the box thinking" decision in selecting an argentine to be pope. For at least the last 65 years most of the international news out of Argentina has been negative. Financial collapse, civil war, financial default, more financial collapse, abuse of human rights violations, etc, etc, etc. Finally, some uplifting international news out of Argentina. Yesterday, was arguably the best day Argentina has seen in its history. Of course, the stupid peronista Madame Presidente is upset. In spite of her, and her crazy extreme socialist policies, the international attention she so craves will forever be muted by news of an argentine pope. Great day for Argentina, muy buena Onda! Monger on dudes. Toymann.

Don.Didn't get that at all from the article. Really. Please elaborate. To me was just a statement on separation of church and state. Still think it is killer moment for Argentina. Most likely the best in a very long time! Just my dos centavos. Toymann.

Most likely the best in a very long time! Just my dos centavos. Toymann.It is a killer moment for Argentina. I agree!, but is clear that (Am I wrong on this?) as soon as he became the "new Pope", I found comments that associate him with something "no good" and lots of controversy, instead saying that the new Pope is a man of integrity (Please read European and Latin American news as well) and all the values that are needed to become a Pope right?
Of course if we read TL (he is very Argentinean and very catholic!) to the point that he makes jokes about the new Pope, showing how happy as an Argentinean he is.
Of course if we read TL (he is very Argentinean and very catholic!) to the point that he makes jokes about the new Pope, showing how happy as an Argentinean he is.Pay no attention to TL. He just made a bad joke. He may have been born in Argentina but he bleeds Texas. The only reason he is not back in Texas is most likely because he can't go back. Seems like many of the ex-pats have a similar story. Many are running from something. Enjoy the day Caricoso. I have been on the phone with my argentine friends almost constantly for the past to days. You have Mesi and now the Pope! That's something to celebrate. By the way, the Pope trumps Mesi, depending on who you talk to. LOL. Enjoy the moment! Monger on dude. Toymann.
Ps. IMHO, the polish pope was the best of all time. I think the new pope will follow him with great style and similar grace. That said, I should comment that I am not catholic. Just my dos centavos
Many liberals, and virtually all extreme socialists have trouble with organized religion. I would say, people who think for themselves often just don't entirely agree with organized religion. How can you discover the truth, if you're expected to believe something written in a book, and believe other people repeating it? Some people prefer to apply critical thinking.
It's no coincidence that the same group of people who are prone to believe a religious book, are prone to believe a constitution, without questioning.
I have no particular animosity to organized religion, it's leaders and followers. Organized religion does a great deal of good. I respect it. But any religion that actively works to ban abortion is also an enemy of freedom. Not just for women, but men as well. If a woman has no choice regarding an unwanted fetus, there is no hope for a man ever getting a say in the matter either.

Your post actually makes my point Esten. You may not like all aspects of the institution you work for my brother. Does that mean you should quit! Because you don't like one facet of a multifaceted organization? One not need embrace all aspects of everything to belong. Christianity is about free choice. You will never find a one size fits all your desires type of scenario. I have no intention of turning this into a politically charged abortion debate Esten. Now stop it! At least the catholic institution stands for something. You may not like all of it, as most of you're political persuasion prefers to judge without any real basis in reality. When was the last time you contributed to a charity or gave your time. Now stop this drivel, heading towards abortion vitriol. I wish both liberals and conservatives would just get over this argument. It's so old news, it's the law of the land in the USA. It's not the law in other countries. Get over it. Now please, if you want to howl at the moon regarding abortion, start you're own thread. Shame on you! Shame on you! Toymann.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/15/opinion/god-is-an-argentine.html?hp&_r=0Did you know that Argentina is, by percent population, the most catholic nation on earth. Even more than Italy. Last I looked it was north of 94% who identified themselves as catholic. So why, the article dude. Why must you focus on abortion, at this moment. Why throw the stones. My lastl post sums it up. Put aside your personal convictions and celebrate the differences. You can get an abortion in Argentina in spite of the Catholic Church, JUST LIKE IN THE USA. So why all the stone throwing. Why just not celebrate the moment. Argentina has not had so many great moments in recent memory. For just a few days, just be happy for your adopted country. You can get back to this stuff in a few days. Just my dos centavos. Toymann.
P.S. The article you posted is just lame US anti-abortion junk mixed with peronista propaganda. I loved the one line talking about the church being complicit with the military in the civil war. Lol. Figured you would know better Dog. Although I do not live in Argentina I have a good many argentine friends. I am happy to celebrate with them, and I will party even more when I return next month. And you wonder why many call us "ugly Americans". Food for thought. Let them have there moment Dog.
Just passing along an article as I do from time to time. I have no dog in the Pope debate, and honestly could give a shit one way or the other.
"Just like in the USA" as far as abortions in Argentina? Hey, patently untrue. If you have the resources in Argentina, maybe you can get an abortion a la USA, but even that is probably debatable. Otherwise, an expensive and harrowing experience.
YOU are talking about "ugly americans". ROTFLMAO. As a non USA native, you do about as convincing an impression of ugly americans as I've seen.
So spare me your schoolboy lecturing. Run along now and play with your laddies.

I killed 5 in the USA but there are about 9 that survived. I sold my "Baby Goo" when I was young, dumb and full! Got payed to do something that we ALL do.
Had to sign legal papers saying that I would never look for my children. It's going to be a Greek Tragedy when I marry my own daughter without knowing it!
Abortion been berry, berry good to me!

Otherwise, an expensive and harrowing experience.Hate to tell ya, and even TL reports similar information from personal experience, your information on abortion in Argentina is either wrong or just outdated. Spoke to my buddy this morning who is an orthopedic surgeon in buenos aires because I was curious regarding your claim He also confirmed TL's information. Not only is it performed in every major hospital in Argentina, but there are several woman's groups, funded quietly behind the scenes for years by Madame Presidente and her predesessors, that will pay for the private procedure. The cost is roughly 4 to 5000 pesos and is arranged through several private clinics in buenos aires, and in most provincial capitals around the country.
So spare me your schoolboy lecturing. Run along now and play with your laddies.No intention of schoolboy lecturing Dog. Your article was quite slanted towards bashing the church. Your timing is a little suspect in, just passing it along as you do from time to time. Two clear examples of the authors slant.
"Catholicism has never excelled at letting nonbelievers live as they believe they should. The right to legal abortion, for one, will be a ruthless field of that battle: "our" pope will surely never allow his own country, where legal abortion remains severely limited, to set a bad example. Here, as everywhere, the Vatican is a main lobbying force for conservative, even reactionary, issues. An Argentine pope can bring this power to uncharted heights.
And my favourite.
"The hierarchy of Argentina's Catholic Church was complicit with the military genocide.
These are but two examples of the authors slant. Both severely socialist, anti-abortion and peronista!
It just seemed like an odd choice, and timing, for presentation of this article. I called you on it, but tried to keep it cordial. I repeat, let Argentina have its day Dog. My dos centavos. Toymann.
To set the matter straight. I didn't post the article from the NYTimes with any agenda in mind whatsoever. Other than my off and on again agenda of posting articles that I think are interesting, informative, or what have you. The title of the article caught my eye, more from the perspective of the notion that the Argentines tend to be a bit stuck on themselves (I'm not saying they are). Note that the author of the article is from Argentina.
And, I have no intent of wading into the politics of abortion in Argentina, or anywhere else. Pretty much all that can be said about that subject has been. If you want to believe that arranging and paying for an abortion is as easy in Argentina as the states, then have at it. Last I checked it was illegal, and the recent legislation in Uruguay opening the route for some women to arrange abortions there was written in such a way that forbid women from other countries traveling there to get an abortion. As you know, Uruguay is Argentina's next door neighbor.
At any rate, I admire your restraint in your response. No name calling, sarcasm or use of hyperbole. Kudos.

There are too many people with different agendas and interest having an opinion about something that (some think) should be desired by legislators on the congress because they think the guys in dark suits know more than we do.
What if (at least most of the Argentinians) follow the Pope's opinion? After all he is supposed to have not just the knowledge, but also a "Beautiful Mind" that many people don't.
Of course, if you are not an Argentinian, or catholic, understand Argentinian culture, or just keep saying that "Las Islas Malvinas" are British, you won't agree with me, and is expected eh? Ask what the cat thinks about the dog? Wait! What my neighbor thinks about me. That's even worse.
Abortion will always be controversial because although they are many "technical" explanations about it, no one has an answer if we should legalize or not.
For the time being I will listen to de Pope because he has shown over the years to be a man of integrity extremely intelligent, and very humble. It has to be a good reason he was elected!
Wrong!

My son is about to get a new half-brother thanks to the difficulty / expense of getting an abortion here.The information came from an excellent source DavieW. But you are also correct that he would have connections being in the medical community. I said 5 tops, you say 6 and up. Not a huge difference at the end of the day. Sorry about the family drama. If you had reported this on the board I would have directed you to my buddy. He told me just this morning it wasn't so difficult, but he is on the inside. I guess you are not. Bummer.

Just my dos centavosThe first time that it was performed was at a High-End Clinic in Recoleta and the second time it was performed was in a clandestine witch doctor's set-up. (picture a female with a coat hangar) Not really!
Then there was a special suppository that was inserted and the girl told me that I had to pound the crap out of her to drive it as far up as possible to dislodge Roger.
No special connections required really. First connection was a well known photographer that must have been attracted to my girlfriend because he payed for it and the second was a working girl; apparently thay all know when and where to get it done.
I am truly amazed that a Super Monger has Religion and or a conscience, I'm not getting it and I was an Altar Boy. I must admit that I felt bad about the last one.
The first one when I was 18 years old does not count as we were too young; however, if you watch the movie "Terms of Endearment" you can see the spot where we conceived!
I regret that one because the girl is super loaded and gorgeous!

Unlike you, I am from the philosophical school of "Jack of all trades, master of none". So I am learning & getting inspired everyday, albeit very slowly. And sometimes I feel agitated enough to share my thoughts, because they are bouncing around my head and need a way out, and so I put them out for validation. Why in AP? Well, it's obvious. I still have fond memories of BA and hopefully, will have 1 or 2 trip to Argentina & South America in me. So, just trying to stay in touch. Not trying to pissed anybody off. Oops.

How can a Pope create so much Banter within a community of Mongers?
Is it not hipocritical? How can a Monger be Pious? Is there not a separation of morals?
Do you have a selective moral compass?
Odd behaviour to say the least.
Cancel the mission but carry on?
Did we not agree to disagree and NEVER mix Politcs, Religion and Abortion?
That and who we favor as Futbol teams!

Maybe I'm just confused since I was an Altar Boy ; but how can a true monger be even remotely pious and or have a religious compass ?

Argentina's Kirchner raises Falklands with Pope Francis. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21835363.
Ha, ha, ha! Well there's a surprise. That it took so long. How predictable and how pathetic. She had a 15 minute audience and this is what she wanted to talk about?

Maybe?

Since the Pope isn't just the head of the church but also a head of state (Vatican City) can a head of state also be a citizen of a different country? Was John Paul II still Polish? (no jokes please) Is Francis still Argentine?
Just wondering.

One of the headlines I saw had a picture of CFK and said something like "She-devil makes peace with Pope." It was in the Christian Science Monitor (not a conservative or "anti-leftist" outlet by any means).
That had me laughing. I haven't seen honest reporting like that in a coon's age.*
*Of course, that is a race-free expression, for any of you who don't know better. I call a spade a spade.**
