"Amazed", the response of the Buenos Aires archbishop to the proposal of Milei's party to break relations with the Vatican
Jorge Ignacio García Cuerva said he was "surprised" with the proposal to cut diplomatic relations with the Vatican, while the Argentine Jorge Bergoglio is the Pope, expressed yesterday during the closing of the La Libertad Avanza campaign.
The Archbishop of Buenos Aires Jorge Ignacio García Cuerva said today that he was "embarrassed and surprised" with the proposal to cut diplomatic relations with the Vatican, while the Argentine Jorge Bergoglio is the Pope, he expressed yesterday during the closing of the La Libertad Avanza campaign.
"I heard it and I was shocked, surprised, at a time when we are trying to ask for a united Argentina," said the Buenos Aires archbishop this morning in statements to radio Perfil.
Within the framework of the closing of the campaign that the LLA presidential candidate, Javier Milei, held last night at the Movistar Arena stadium in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Villa Crespo, economist Alberto Benegas Lynch asked to "cut relations with the Vatican."

"Out of consideration and respect for my Catholic religion, I believe that we should imitate what President Roca did and suspend diplomatic relations with the Vatican while the totalitarian spirit prevails there," said Benegas Lynch, who is described by Milei as "a hero of the liberalism".
Furthermore, the liberal economist clarified that "I fully assume responsibility" in reference to his statements and stressed that he does not want the proposed initiative to compromise Javier Milei's position.
In this sense, Jorge Ignacio García Cuerva maintained that "the figure of the Holy Father is, beyond the figure of Bergoglio, a very great reference for the Church. So, to say that 'in the name of my Catholic religion' one plans to suspend diplomatic relations is, to say the least, shocking".

Subsequently, García Cuerva stressed: "We are embarrassed by this closing of the campaign in which someone in the name of 'my Catholic religion' proposes that they should have their own private religion."

"For Catholics, the figure of the Holy Father, regardless of who he is because we are convinced that the Holy Spirit intervenes here, is not only an authority but is our shepherd, our universal reference."

"The question and also the answer seemed very opportunistic to me. It was putting the Holy Father in the middle when, in reality, the aggression and violence towards him has continued. In fact, what happened this Wednesday is proof of all that," he considered. , the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge Ignacio García Cuerva, and insisted that "it is shocking that we can applaud breaking relationships, breaking ties, stopping building bridges. It scares me as an Argentine."

Is this the same Argentina that cozies up to the dictator Xi every opportunity they get?

Like the United States in 2017, Argentina now has a new broom that is attempting to do some deep cleaning.
I think we should give him a chance instead of snarking at everything he tries.
Ok, so this guy is running against the current regime. Let’s hope he wins.
Those were specially made for Barack Obama....
Praying hard for a Milei victory... and that when elected, he continues to tell the truth to the world about his erstwhile countryman Bergoglio.
