An Argentine potato!!!

The big news of course in Argentina is that the new pope ( papa en Spanish- same word as potato!) is a local boy.

It is all over the news, everyone is talking about it- most very proudly, some negatively. Lots of people are coming out of the woodwork to claim a connection- including one lady who says she was his girlfriend when they were 12!!!

There are the detractors as well- some saying he was aware of the goings during the dictatorship but did nothing. Others say that is rubbish- that we was actually involved in getting people away from the military.

It is interesting to see the discussion amongst evangelicals- nationalism seems to triumph over differences of opinion about theology!
