The Popes visit
So, this time next week the Pope is coming to the UK
Every taxpayer will be coughing up to fund it. Many people will travel miles to hear him preach, many more will be inconvenienced by the traffic and crowds. The faithfull will be enraptured The disinterested will be …. Disinterested. But what about the devout of other religions do we risk offending them by allowing this visit. If it is offencive, does it matter? |

Re: The Popes visit
Don't understand why we have to fund his visit when the vatican is loaded?

Re: The Popes visit
I thought they were helping out with some of the cost of it.
His visit though whatever your views on him will increase tourists to the UK and the money rolling in. |

Re: The Popes visit
Its a total slap in the face of our supposedly secular country. Yes religious heads may visit and speak lies to their followers, but not at the expense of millions of people who aren't gullible enough to believe!! Gets me very riled up. I might ask the government to fly over my favourite band for a performance for just their fans and the tax payers can pay.
