The archbishop of Buenos Aires is on record as saying the islands were "usurped" by Britain, raising the possibility that he could use his position as leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics to influence the future of the Falklands.[/quote] Sharpen your swords gents.
Well, that escalated quickly.
The Queen was later seen laughing, and when asked for a response, pointed towards her families history of disrespecting the Pope.
It's really like I'm living in the 1200s.
Keep in mind. If we follow the Pope on his land claims, the entire Western Side of the world is Spanish, and the Entire eastern side of the world is Portuguese. [editline]14th March 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;39911804]It's really like I'm living in the 1200s.[/QUOTE] Technically 1500's.
Good luck with trying to influence us, Britain isn't even Catholic
Oh man a 21st century crusade would be hilarious.
Do that many people not from Britian or Argentina even [I]know[/I] about the Falklands?
This reminds of medieval total war it was so good getting one of your cardinals elected to pope then you could war on everyone without scared.

[QUOTE=Nightsure;39911829]Do that many people not from Britian or Argentina even [I]know[/I] about the Falklands?[/QUOTE] I heard that the Football team Boca Jr. is going to put the slogan, "We own the Falkland Islands" on their uniforms.

A Crusade is a mass effort by christians, dummy.
1.2 billion Catholics? Pfft, bring it on chaps, this pope has clearly never seen Zulu [editline]14th March 2013[/editline] Fix bayonets
Bro, Imma chastice you if you threaten my land.
god hates me, why else would i have been born into argentina? gj pope francis, peace and tolerance you fucking asshole
[QUOTE=RichyZ;39911866]hes saying that a crusade would essentially be that, relating it to a jihad, which is going on now[/QUOTE] It's still stupid as hell spinning of words.
I'll get the popcorn.
[QUOTE=Psychokitten;39911891]I'll get the popcorn.[/QUOTE] I think that it'll be hilarious to see the entire Argentinian army defeated by about a company of Gurkhas again.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;39911866]hes saying that a crusade would essentially be that, relating it to a jihad, which is going on now[/QUOTE] Jihad literally means 'struggle.' It became used by Crusaders to identify Muslim defenders who fought against them.
It's been less than a day and he's already a dick.
[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;39911880]It's still stupid as hell spinning of words.[/QUOTE] No, it's not. Both are irredeemable bloodshed based on arbitrary religious reasons.
Off to a great start, I see.
Time to reinstate James II to the throne, Argentina?
so in other words an asshole left the Pope Chair and a New Asshole replaced it
I knew somehow the pope being Argentinian would come back to the Falklands at some point.
This is funny. Like any respected christian takes the pope serious now-a-days.
[QUOTE=dunkace;39912012]I knew somehow the pope being Argentinian would come back to the Falklands at some point.[/QUOTE] Because people dug around and checked his background for Falklands stuff He hasn't said anything about the Falklands since becoming Pope

[QUOTE=Leg of Doom;39911836]This reminds of medieval total war it was so good getting one of your cardinals elected to pope then you could war on everyone without scared.[/QUOTE] The guy always turned on you damn fast, though. I just kept recruiting priests and training them, while keeping my assassin in Rome. Every 5-6 turns I'd shoot the current pope and elect a new one. Now that's progression.
Didn't take Kirchner long to grab that chance by the horns did it
Britain should invade Vatican city with Henry VIII's reanimated corpse leading the siege. Bloody argie bargies.
