From THE HUFFINGTON POST:
In a televised show aired on Wednesday afternoon, current interim Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro, assured the election of Argentinian Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio has a lot to do with the fact that former Venezuelan leader died last week.
He said, "For the first time in history a South American has been elected as Pope, an Argentine. Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio will be the 266th Pope. The debate was between an African and a South American Pope. I don't know, we know that our ‘commander’ rose to the heights and is face to face with Christ. He must've influenced somehow to convene a South American Pope. Some new hand arrived and Christ said, 'Well, it is the time for South America'."
Yep. That'll be it.
Yes, I’m sure it went down just like that.
Eh, I’ve heard MORE ridiculous faith-claims than this (re “the meaning of the Papal election”) in the past 24…
