Talk:Iglesia Maradoniana

Who the f*** in Argentina doesn't believe Maradona is God??? You must be kidding me, at least show some proof, name at least one person other Pele who believes otherwise... What a joke... Also give a link as to when Tevez said that about Maradona. He would never say such a thing.

Why the link to the homepage of the church doesn't work? Do they have a new homepage? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.117.104.82 (talk) 21:46, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Hombre: Bueno, queridos hermanos, vamos a rezar el Credo en esta iglesia de los unidos. Creo en Diego, futbolista todopoderoso creador de la magia y de pasión. Creo en Pelusa, nuestro señor que fue concebido por obra y gracia de los reyes del fútbol. Nació en Fiorito. Padeció, padeció bajo el poder de Havelange. Fue crucificado, muerto y sepultado, suspendido de las canchas, pero volvió y resucitó su hechizo.
Man: Well, dear brothers, we are going to recite the Creed in this church of the united. I believe in Diego, the almighty soccer player, creator of magic and passion. I believe in Pelusa, our father that was conceived by the works and grace of the kings of soccer. He was born in Fiorito. He suffered, suffered under the power of Havelange. He was crucified, he died, and was buried, suspended from the fields, but he returned and rose from the dead, his magic.

Reportero: El astro del fútbol, Diego Armando Maradona, inspira fanatismo religioso, tanto que sus seguidores crearon una iglesia donde lo veneran, la iglesia maradoniana. Fundada en 1988, sus partidarios aseguran que cuentan con más de 80 mil socios en 60 países y uno de sus principales ritos es la llamada boda maradoniana. Esta vez dos parejas de mexicanos viajaron hasta Buenos Aires para contraer matrimonio el día en que se conmemora el cumpleaños del llamado dios del fútbol y por lo tanto, la Navidad del año 47 después de Maradona. [música]
Reporter: The soccer star, Diego Armando Maradona, inspires religious fanaticism, so much so that his followers created a church where they worship him, the Maradonian church. Founded in 1988, its followers state that they have more than eighty thousand members in sixty countries. One of the main rituals is the so called Maradonian wedding. This time, two Mexican couples traveled to Buenos Aires to get married on the day that commemorates the birthday of the so called "god of soccer"; hence, Christmas is in the year 47, after (the birth of) Maradona.

Reportero: Las parejas fueron casadas por uno de los fundadores de la iglesia maradoniana quien cumplió el papel de sacerdote entregando anillos y hasta un acta nupcial.
Reporter: The couples were married by one of the founders of the Maradonian church who played the role of a priest and issued rings and even a marriage license. [music]

Reportero: Estais decidido a amarse y a respectarse compartiendo partidos [incomprensible] y orden de nuestro dios.
Reporter: Are you devoted to loving one another and respecting one another, sharing games, (unclear) and the order of our god.

Reportero: Aunque el rito carece de validez legal, para ellos tiene un valor simbólico. Los seguidores dicen que es parecido a una ceremonia católica pero adoptado a la religión maradoniana. [Aplauso]
Reporter: Even though the ritual lacks legal validity, it has a symbolic value for them. The followers say that it is similar to a Catholic ceremony but adapted to the Maradonian religion. [Applause]

Mujer entrevistada: Primero fue algo extraño, ¿verdad? Era algo que no entendía completamente y pues me puso un poco nerviosa, pero bueno, después fue todo emoción y los nervios de la boda y obviamente estaba feliz.
Woman interviewed: At first it was kind of strange, right? It was something I didn’t completely understand and so it made me nervous, but well, afterwards it was all about emotion and the nerves of the wedding and obviously I was happy.

Reporter: But where did the idea to get married in a Maradonian church come from?
---
Hombre entrevistado: Realmente nació de la idea de la otra pareja que también se acaba de casar hoy que son Adrián y Olivia y ellos nos lo surgieron a nosotros y así fue como, como decidimos. Dijimos “aceptamos”. Nos pusimos de acuerdo. Y ambos acordamos y así fue cómo nació ésto.
Man interviewed: Really it came from the idea of the other couple who also just got married today, who are Adrian and Olivia and they suggested it to us and that was how we decided. We said we accept. We came to an agreement and we both agreed and that was how it came about.
