No, I've never been to rural Northern Argentina.
Can you post a more contextually complete quote rather than making up a straw man ?
He said that in Argentinas northeast countryside, couples have a child and live together. They have a civil wedding when the child goes to school, and when they become grandparents they get married religiously. Its a superstition, because marriage frightens the husband. Its a superstition we have to overcome, the Pope said. Ive seen a lot of fidelity in these cohabitations, and I am sure that this is a real marriage, they have the grace of a real marriage because of their fidelity, but there are local superstitions, etc. Marriage is the most difficult area of pastoral work, he said.
What is distinguished by strict observance of the traditional and written law, and commonly held to have pretensions to superior sanctity ?
