The Pope

[united]

Yup, apparently. I'm sure the organisation is wealthy enough to fund its own travel. Shocking that we don't get to vote as to whether we want to pay for this. It'd certainly get a no from me.

It would get a No from me too

I wish he'd still be coming to be honest so he got egged and flowered (lol - I haven't said that since I was about 10 years old!)

Christ only knows (no pun intended). But the taxpayer is footing his travel bills!

He even knocked BA regarding some cross somebody wore once. I doubt BA will be flying him now. Hope he gets an EasyJet standard class seat and they go the wrong way around the globe to get him here!

and we have been called a third world country by them today i could think of some really nice things to say about them

 

[david campbell]

personally i think some of these posts are derogatory,the uk tax payer foots the bill anytime a head of state visits this country(the pope is a head of state) and some of the other comments are highlighting the minority which by no means is condonable by the rest of the religion unfortunatley these crimes have been villified due to the position of trust that some people hold,these acts have been going on for many hundreds of years with royalty and people of noble positions throughout the world however have gone relatively un-noticed due to there more leniant religious stances.............this is what pope benedict strives to bring to the catholic/christain faith,a more just and moral society and an unreserved apology for the faults and failings of the catholic church in the past.
