    Pope travels to UK to put a stop to equality and gay rights. but he doesn't have the time to stop by Ireland and apologise in person for the systemic abuse and molestation of children over (god knows) how many decades by his organisation.

    Good Thing I live in London. if i'm bored that day I might take the time to print a South Park screen capture of the pope leading a little boy around by a dog collar, and put it on a placard.

    I thought it was hilarious how he's campaigning against the fact that an organisation with a disproportionately large number of homosexual employees may be forced to employ homosexuals... bit behind the times.

    "Papal poofter prejudice"

    I'm surprised that you all seem to be surprised. It's typical warped Catholic logic. These people need to get their priorities in order.

    He's just enforcing the Roman Catholic policy, that's what the leader of an organisation does

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I found extract particulary amusing.





    He was speaking out after the Pope said that recent legislation in Britain ran counter to natural law

    Apparently expecting people who wish to become priests and nuns to take a vow of chastity does'nt run counter to natural law.:rolleyes:

    He should have been over here long ago to apologize. I never really liked the guy anyway but his complete lack of action over the child abuse report is a disgrace and he should answer for it.

    I'm a Catholic but even I don't respect Benedict, the guy is a fool ands really needs to be careful because he's just embarrassing the church by doing what he's doing. Of course that dosen't mean that the church hasn't already embarrassed itself what with all the child abuse, but I'm saying he's just adding fuel to the fire.

    90% of people in this country are not practising Catholics.

    Respect? Don't give me that horse sh*t. His whole organisation covered up the systematic abuse of children for decades. They can kiss the back of me flaps so they can and f*ck right off while they're doing it.

    He tells Africans not to use condoms, ignores the horrors inflicted on children by members of his church and orchestrated the downfall of the Republic and the destruction of the Jedi Council. How is that not evil?

    No, not really. It's a joke that Paul Merton made on Have I got News for You.

    Though, as far as Popes go, he's not a very nice one

    The op's post is incorrect and not worthy of comment on those grounds. THe pope was due to travel to the UK. The pope also apologised for the actions of the church in a letter read out in the church.

    Werent you there?

    Prob not!

    In fairness, the current batch of popes are great compared to some of the looneys there before. One pope dug up his predecessor's body and put him on trial, then "executed" him. The pope after that, dug up the body again and had another trial (same outcome). And they were some of the more sane popes from back then!

    It's a shame that Pope John Paul I died so young. He seemed very progressive,especially for his time.( Conspiracy thread anyone?)

    John Paul was not your ordinary pope. He referred to himself as "I" instead of the traditional royal "We." His beaming demeanor earned him the nickname "The Smiling Pope" and gave him cachet with the little people. John Paul immediately began planning out reforms he perceived that the church needed, including revisions to the long-standing absolute ban on contraceptives and fertility treatments. He was apparently also planning to shake up the Vatican power structure.

    wouldn't be too surprised to find out he commited suicide by stabbing himself in the back six times before throwing himself off the vatican.

    I was posting in response to another user saying that the Pope deserved respect.

    Thumbs up for the sensationalist thread title. While I agree the pope should apologise on behalf of the church for the abuse, I disagree he should go against the teachings of the church he represents by voicing his support for gay rights... even though I disagree with the church's stance.

    Possibly although the fact that he never had much opportunity to implement it might lead one to speculate that the progressiveness of his agenda might have been subsequently exxagurated.

    We have little way of telling really.

    Ummm I thought his role involved rather more than representing his church

    The official explanation IIRC was that he hadnt been taking his heart medication because in his excitement at his surprise appointment he forgot to bring it with him when he set off for Rome.

    Rome being such a small little place there arent a lot of pharmacies dontcha know

    I see where you're coming from but can't a Pope reinterpret and change dogma? Interestingly enough Jesus himself never commented on homosexuality.
