    • Detente begins. Bergoglio picked up the phone first. The following excerpt is from Argentina's main newspaper (machine translation). 


    Quote
    Javier Milei received a surprise phone call this noon: Pope Francis communicated with him from the Vatican, in a gesture that marks the beginning of his personal relationship, after the controversy over the offensive statements of the libertarian candidate on his way to power. According to sources from La Libertad Avanza, the president-elect invited him to visit Argentina both on a state visit, as well as in his capacity as leader of Catholicism and clergy.
    [...]
    A leg of La Libertad Avanza, with a conservative profile and which is highly identified with Catholicism, has been working with low profile to soften relations with the Vatican. They are young people who joined Milei's party because the candidate was emphatic in his opposition to the legalization of abortion and has on his agenda to repeal the law that enabled voluntary termination of pregnancy.

    In addition, Milei's statements about Francis had irritated his former employer, businessman Eduardo Eurnekian. The owner of Corporación América has a good link with the Vatican and was one of those who collaborated for Francis' visit to Armenia in 2016 and promoted interreligious dialogue.

    Reminds me of how Trump campaigned to chants of "Lock her up!" and then the day after he was elected called the Clintons "good people".

    All the world is a stage.

    • Take this from "Anonymous Conservative" for what it's worth…

    More unusual, if the fake news is not lying, which is always an “IF”: Argentina just elected an eccentric populist who seeks counsel from his cloned dogs: https://time.com/6337474/javier-milei-argentina-president-cloned-dogs-advice/

    When Conan died in 2017, Milei reportedly visited a medium to communicate with his late beloved pet. It was in that telepathic conversation, Milei has said, that Conan relayed God’s mission for him to become President of Argentina. According to Argentina’s La Nacion newspaper, Milei believes that he and Conan first met in a previous life more than 2,000 years ago as a gladiator and lion in the Roman Colosseum and that the pair did not fight because they were destined to join forces in the future (which he believes was a prophecy of his animal-influenced presidential campaign)

    Then again it is a mysterious world, it does not end here, and dogs are special souls.

    • First Milei, now Wilders. Two in under a week.

    In the Netherlands, Geert Wilders' party won enough seats yesterday to take control of the government. He has long campaigned against immigration and even for banning the Koran. His other positions seem to be of the right in both senses of the word. Then we see the telltale bio snippet:

    Quote
    Raised a Roman Catholic, Wilders left the church at his coming of age. His travels to Israel and the greater Middle East as a young adult helped form his political views. [...]
    Wilders' goal after he graduated from secondary school was to see the world. Because he did not have enough money to travel to Australia, his preferred destination, he went to Israel instead[35] and volunteered for a year in a moshav, Tomer, on the West Bank.[36] With the money he saved, he travelled to the neighbouring Arab countries, and was moved by the lack of democracy in the region. When he returned to the Netherlands, he retained Israeli ideas about counter-terrorism and a "special feeling of solidarity" for the country.[37]

    There's a trend, but what is that trend. Maybe elections as pressure valves and back to business as usual.

    Meanwhile Dublin is burning today since the Irish have had enough of immigrant hoodlums. Maybe Varadkar will be next to get the phone call from the main office.

    • The people who rule the world realized that they were going too fast.

    They are calming down people allowing right-wing candidates to win elections. Meanwhile, they humiliate these same people by giving them nutheads leaders who talk to dogs and want democracy in Muslim countries.

    They win either way. Only God can stop them.

    Yes, known variously as "freeze and thaw," "coagula et solve," "revelation of the method."

    She favors same sex civil unions, but not gαy marriage.

    :facepalm:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Villarruel
     I have two senior citizens in my family who have been best friends and roommates for decades.  They started out as military buddies.  They are not gαy.  They were seeking a civil union so that they could be covered by health insurance and life insurance etc…

    gαy Marriage vs Civil Unions…there can be a difference.

    Barring scenarios like this, which are not really the focus of civil unions, everyone knows that the intent is to legitimize sodomitical cohabitation but paying lip service by not calling it "marriage".  Catholics have no business approving of "civil unions" because it's basically giving legal legitimacy to sinful cohabitation (again, barring a few people like in your example who exploited the law to their benefit).  There's no "union" there other than physical.

    • So one of the reasons they installed Jewvier Milei, as he announces that Argentina will not follow through on joining BRICS.
