    A diplomatic answer since Ronaldo and Messi are both still alive.

    Maradona on his meeting with John Paul II

    “Yes, I did argue with the Pope. I argued with him because I’ve been to the Vatican and seen the gold ceilings. And then I hear the Pope saying that the Church was concerned about poor kids. So? Sell the ceilings, mate! Do something!”

    From Yo Soy el Diego

    But he was optimistic about Bergoglio

    “The Vatican, for me, is a lie because instead of giving to people it takes away. All popes have done this and I don’t want him to do it,”

    “I am disappointed with the Vatican but I believe in you because you are making changes and pointing us towards more human things, things that I would like to see in the Church,”

        Ironically he was always a big supporter of civil and economic rights. Wasn’t a good guy by any means, but his persona always overshadowed his social activities and his protests, especially during the 2000s. He was also outspoken and openly politically aligned, which is part of the reason why he’s such a controversial figure here in Argentina

          Does he? The Catholic Church is already the largest non-gov healthcare provider and charity organization in the world.

          Are you really arguing the church should tear apart the ceilings of their historical buildings to sell the materials?

    Pele used to have to do what he did with the opposition kicking the living shite out of him. Different game back then, the added brutality counts in his favour.

        If you actually think that what we have nowadays compares to the absurd brutality of football back them, then that means you have no idea what you are talking about lol

    To be fair, Pelé was very clearly against contraceptives, right up the Vatican’s alley with that one.
