AFA treasurer Pablo Toviggino shares quotes from Pope Francis

Pablo Toviggino, the treasurer of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), has sparked social media discussion after sharing a series of quotes attributed to the late Pope Francis on the platform X.

As a key official alongside Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapias, Toviggino posted five textual excerpts from the interview book 'El Pastor' by journalists Sergio Rubíny and Francesca Ambrogetti. The shared quotes included reflections on resignation, resilience, and political identity. One notable quote stated, ‘My resignation is already signed in case I suffer an illness that prevents me from continuing.’

Other shared passages addressed the Pope's political stance, specifically denying affiliation with the Peronist party, and offered philosophical reflections on overcoming failure and the necessity of rising after a fall.
