We asked Marcela (KD contributor that resides in Argentina) what it was like to hear this news.
Here is what she shared with me and said it's okay to share with you:
YES!!!! Argentine Pope!!! I was at my car driving home and I heard
the news!! I called my parents, my sister, everybody, we are so happy!!!
Argentina has been in big troubles with the actual president
Cristina Kirchner so we all hope the president meets the Pope (I still
can´t believe it) and he talks to her to reconsider a lot of things she needs
to reconsider...I know is it not the same thing, but an Argentinian was named
Queen from Holland the past month as she is married with the king of Poland, so maybe
now everybody in the world will know Argentina. I have to say that not so long
ago lots of people thought Argentina was part of Brazil...
=) Talking seriously, Jorge Bergoglio, is a very intelligent,
sensitive, humble person, so we all hope he can reach more to the people who
was loosing their faith lately in the catholic church. LLet's pray for that!!
