The new Pope Francis, an Argentinian, has declared '“Las Malvinas are ours.

He urged people “not to forget those who had fallen during the war” as they had “shed their blood on Argentine soil”
Pope Francis has been a vocal and passionate supporter of his country’s claim on the Falkland Islands, known as Las Malvinas to Argentinians.
In April last year, at a memorial mass in Buenos Aires 30 years on from the Falklands conflict, he said: “We come to pray for all who have fallen, sons of the homeland who went out to defend their mother, the homeland, and to reclaim what is theirs, that is of the homeland, and it was usurped.”

And a year earlier, he urged people “not to forget those who had fallen during the war” as they had “shed their blood on Argentine soil”

Not that his relation with the present Argentinian is cozy..far from it.

He is against Gay marriage.

When the Cardinal urged parishioners to join a campaign he called "God's war" against gay marriage, Ms.Kirchner , Argentinian President,,compared his tone to the Middle Ages and the Inquisition.

Previously, in a snipe at Cardinal Bergoglio, Mr Kirchner reportedly said: "Our God is everyone's, but careful because the Devil also reaches everyone - those who wear trousers and those who wear cassocks."

Despite their differences, the Cardinal called for the Argentine people to pray for Mr Kirchner when he died in October 2010.

Now this statement on Falklands, where a referendum has taken place about 4 days ago on its status.

Britain, though outwardly cool awaits the result of the Referendum.

Hope it has not manipulated the Referendum process.

Britain formed a new sect of Christianity because the Catholic pope did not allow a king to marry when his wife was alive.

Let's see if the Pope creates a new Britain. outside Britain.

Anyway, we can find Britain squirming in the coming years.
