Anastasia O'Grady, the journalist who covers Latin America for the Wall St. Journal published a column today that calls into question the motives of the Kirchner government and its pocket supporters in the local media. Some of the house organ writers have suggested that the Pope was a collaborator with the military junta in power in the '80's and failed to support the 2 Jesuits priests who were kidnapped by the military and held for 3 months.
Without any evidence to support these accusations, it can only be assumed that Mrs. Kirchner's government feels even more threatened by the selection of an Argentine cleric as the world leader of Catholicism; and especially the 42% of Catholics who reside in South America.
At the same time, she asked the newly appointed pontiff to intervene with Great Britain on the question of sovreignty over the Falkland Islands. The Island residents just finished voting to stay in the British realm.
Perhaps Christina is feeling forlorn after losing her mentor, Hugo Chavez, to a long illness. Who will hold her hand now at the international table of socialist dictators?
