BBC Pope and Milei meet as Argentina gains first female saint 11 Feb 2024 By Sofia Ferreira Santos

　以前は法王をえらいこと批判というか誹謗というか、中傷というか…していたそうだが、そこはトランプと同様にと言うべきか、大統領着任後は言葉を控えるようになったとか。まあ、それなりに大人の付き合いをしてみると、そういうことなんでしょう。

「Argentina's first female saint was canonised on Sunday, in an event which brought Pope Francis and the country's president face-to-face for the first time.

President Javier Milei, a libertarian, had previously said the Pope was an "imbecile" who "promotes communism".

He has since toned down his criticism after taking office in December.」

「Mr Milei travelled to the Vatican for the Mass at St Peter's Basilica, where he met and hugged the 87-year-old Pope.」

　アルゼンチン最初のフェミニストとも評される人物がその話題のひと。

「María Antonia de Paz y Figueroa, known as Mama Antula, was an 18th-Century laywoman who is considered by some to be Argentina's first feminist.

She renounced her family's riches to minister to the poor, and helped keep the Jesuit movement alive in Argentina after the religious order - to which the Pope belongs - was suppressed.

The Pope described her on Friday as a "gift to the Argentine people and also to the entire Church".」
