Argentina President Alberto Fernández is a complex character.

His despicable act:

His neutral act:
He has a concubine – a perfectly Biblical and Godly possession. (Ge:25:6: But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.)

And then what the Pope sees as a sin:
Taking the Eucharist with his concubine. Given the neutrality of the state of having a concubine, and, for all I know each could have partaken in the Eucharist separately, I can hardly see that the pope has much to be upset about.

However, this does bring in to question the real reason why the Catholic Church (or “Social Club for the Deluded” as I like to call it). The real reason follows.

False and Disturbing Opinions

10. For We can see that some of those who are dealing with this Most Holy Mystery in speech and writing are disseminating opinions on Masses celebrated in private or on the dogma of transubstantiation that are disturbing the minds of the faithful and causing them no small measure of confusion about matters of faith, just as if it were all right for someone to take doctrine that has already been defined by the Church and consign it to oblivion or else interpret it in such a way as to weaken the genuine meaning of the words or the recognized force of the concepts involved.

[Edit EB: this can be summarized as “Stop telling me I’m an idiot.”]

15. First of all, We want to recall something that you know very well but that is absolutely necessary if the virus of every kind of rationalism is to be repelled; it is something that many illustrious martyrs have witnessed to with their blood, something that celebrated fathers and Doctors of the Church have constantly professed and taught.

[Edit EB: this can be summarized as “Stop thinking and be idiots.”]

48. "Instructed as you are in these matters," says St. Cyril of Jerusalem, at the end of a sermon on the mysteries of the faith, "and filled with an unshakeable faith that what seems to be bread is not bread—though it tastes like it—but rather the Body of Christ; and that what seems to be wine is not wine—even though it too tastes like it—but rather the Blood of Christ . . . draw strength from receiving this bread as spiritual food and your soul will rejoice."

[Edit EB: this can be summarized as “Yes, I know, and you know, but pretend we don’t”.]

From this we can see that the “sin” is “thinking for oneself” and “failing to obey those who promote delusion."

I suspect this would be a good time for Pastor Zeke to take a trip (in newly refurbished "Landover One") to Argentina (after all possible medical precautions and prayers have been conducted) and to explain to “El Presidente” that Landover understands more of his position and, indeed, reflects the majority of it.

I suggest that President Alberto Fernández distances himself from the Abortion bill, much in the manner of Pontius Pilate, and hands the job to the opposition, so that no opprobrium might fall on him. (Finer details can be discussed later.)
