Great article. And I truely hope this pseudo-correspondent is correct when she says

 

“I doubt we’ll ever find another leader so committed to reversing society’s natural progression of post-Enlightenment values,” Fernández added.

 

Cos frankly I worry that the Catholic church may astound us again by finding someone even more reactionary, hidebound and regressive!

Only for the French-speaking

Speaking of foreign languages, is there a better way to illustrate how out of touch you are than by giving your resignation speech in Latin?
