    Apologies if this topic already exists?

    http://www.rte.ie/news/2008/0813/pope.html

    What gives him the right to wear fur? He's all God and loving and he's meant to respect animals ladeedah but what kind of respresentative is he, really?

    Is it just me or is this pope awful... I don't mean to be harsh but I don't think he's great. Not that I'm catholic, I don't really have a religion (basically I don't know if there's anything there and don't really care), but I don't like him much. Actually, at all.

    On another note, Catholicism really has gone down the bog.

    he represents a very dangerous cult, imo

    Italian animal rights campaigners are urging Pope Benedict to stop wearing ermine on his hats and robes, appealing to his reputation as a cat lover.

    We need some lolpopes....

    Not you, Degsy - sit down.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Is there anything in the 10 commandments that we can pin him with? "Thou shalt not wear cat" would be nice but sounds to specific. Isn't there one, "wear the carcass of others like you yourself would like your carcass to be worn", or something like that?

    This has made pope sidious 100 times better in my eyes. I think he's great.

    It is obvious few of you actually know of his nickname amongst Vatican reporters:

    The Prada Pope


    Pope Benny (I like to call him this to humanise him), dumped clothiers to the Vatican who have served countless popes for nearly 400 years in favor of having his vestments made by Prada instead.

    Then a few weeks ago he tells us we are too consumer focussed & orientated as a global society.

    If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black, I don't know what is. What can you expect from a nazi sympathiser ...... next he'll tell us Jesus was white!!!
