Pope Francis "Loses" Argentinean Elections
Gloria TV ^ | October 23, 2017 | Gloria TV

Center-right Argentinean president Mauricio Macri who received from Pope Francis in February 2016 a frosty welcome in the Vatican, won the midterm parliamentary elections on Sunday. Former leftwing Peronist President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, favoured by Francis but involved in a corruption affair, lost against Macri’s candidate in Buenos Aires by four percentage points. During the election campaign Kirchner had claimed that Macri’s policies would “hurt the poor”. In Buenos Aires Macri’s coalition received more than half of the vote.

Kirchner and her husband are evil and corrupt. Thank God the peronists are on the run.

Will the Church ever straighten itself out?

It is still the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, and I will stay with it as long as I can go to Mass and receive the Sacraments. I’m not going to let the heretics and kooks drive me away.

But it is horrible how many people have left the Church since Vatican II. Our local church has dropped from three masses on Sunday to one, and the church is more than half empty. I pray for the Church and for those who have left in discouragement.

Don’t let Francis and the liberals have their way and drive faithful Catholics out.

My usually conservative but vague priest is starting to sound more liberal in his homilies.

When we moved to Long Island in 94 at Mass in our new parish my wife and I were in the lower 50% of the Sunday congregants. 23 years later I am still in the lower half on Sundays, though I am collecting SSS now. The biggest mistake in America nade by the Church was not trying harder to maintain its school and depending on Religious Ed to take their place. In far too many places Religious Ed, that one hour a week, is simply getting a permission slip for a Church wedding.
