#Splinter , I thought he was going to be a brilliant Pope ...
He spoke a great game when he was appointed by his fellow Cardinals
But really its been much more of the same.
Will anyone ever sort out the banking scandals in the Vatican.
And I don't want to start about the misbehaviour of certain priests and bishops.......
Yes, we all thought he was going to be a down to earth pope, but then his real self emerged.
Now it appears that he won't even visit when Fernandez becomes president in December, because of the aforementioned's stance on abortion. When asked why he hasn't been back, he replied "Ask the Lord..."
We have abortion in Italy, and I am pretty sure he rubs shoulders with Italians all the time 
I think the Lord will speak to Francis after December 10 and he will pay a visit to Argentina, a quick one, no more than a couple of days. I bet 1000 pesos on it. By the time we will know what happens (at the end of Fernandez's presidency), they won't be worth much.
I am feeling generous and I am willing to bet 1000 pesos or a medium national beer, whatever is the higher. 
Who's up for the bet?
Religion isn't my thing. The wife is a catholic and doesn't like the man.
I'll pass on the national beer and take the money, thanks.
I'd prefer to bet pesos if I lose, and a king cake if YOU lose!

Well, what's your wife's bet?
How many see the Pope
Well, what's your wife's bet?
She says he's a K so she won't be going to see him...even if he does come.
Like “You can’t break up with ME, because I’m breaking up with YOU?”
Or
“You can’t fire me; I quit!”
