    If the pope came I'd dress as Satan and follow him around to applaud and support the evilness of the Catholic church.

    On the last papel visit I went to the Galway event. I met up with a fine upstanding young catholic girl and inevitably we rutted the day/night away in my tent. Next day, the actual day of the (cue angelic chorus) Youth Mass, I drank too and slept through the whole event much in a haystack a few fields over from the site.

    As far as I could tell there were 6 people in the front row who were actually religious. The rest of us were there for poops and giggles.

    I'd go again if I could re-create that experience, twas awesome.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    It'd be great to have a flash mob of storm troopers show up for the popes visit and all kneel to him as he passes.

    if it visits it should be arrested for covering up decades of child abuse, tried and then deported

    At a guess, he has diplomatic immunity. :rolleyes: :(

    It could be the worlds largest "come as someone evil" fancy dress party.

    Whilst I would welcome the Pope's pastoral visit and the tourism boost it would bring, as shown in the World Youth Day, the Government has declined to invite his Holiness -. Still, to paraphrase Kipling based on this thread - Ireland's second religion is hate.

    Mr. Ratzinger can come and go as he pleases. That said, I think that the Church should pay for the expenses and not the State. He is the head of a rligion here to preach, not a head of state here to discuss politics or econmics.

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

    The government would spend a sh1t load of money,call what ever day he got here a holy day, give his brother a bunch of deaf choir boys and tell everyone to get out and goose step for herr pope.

    Yep, Ireland and its crazy hatred of child rapists and their protectors.

    Mad, isn't it?

    In the front row there would be 2 priests, Gerald Fits Simon and Simon Fits Gerald.

    Every else would be there to give him a hitler salute ( at least he'd know how to give one back ) as a thanks for all the abuse and cover ups by his organisation in Ireland.

    I'd go to see him, yeah. It'd be very interesting to hear what he has to say on Irish soil.

    He's been to Ireland before as a cardinal....at least once I think.

    Having read a small bit of his writings over the years - I like the man.

    As for paying for it - if he's invited by the government (unlikely I'd say) then the government would pay the bulk of the costs. If (as has been mentioned in the media) he comes simply as a religious leader than he'd cover his own costs I suppose...or rather, the local church should.

    Expect he'd get a decent crowd. People are very curious and generally like an event.

    If he did come, which he probably wouldn't, I'd expect him to completely ignore the abuse scandal which would be a huge slap in the face to the Irish people and the victims in particular.

    If he did address, which he wouldn't, he certainly wouldn't apologise which would break (or set) the world record for the number of people simultaneously booing.

    I don't think he'll visit here. I reckon he's chicken. He knows there'll be protests.
    Baaaak, bok bok bok.
    That was also the noise coming from a tent in galway 30 odd years ago

    The reception he'd get would be totally different from what the Polish Protector of Paedophiles Everywhere got.:D

    In those days, almost no one - except the victims, the hierarchy and a few members of the Garda and civil servants, all of whom knew better than to violate the code of omerta - had any idea what the kiddy-fiddler church was really all about. No one in the media would have dared to mention the industrial schools or even look into allegations of clerical sex abuse if anyone had made them. And anyone who made them would have been shouted down by both the church and its running dogs and the media. In fact, there was a pretty seamless bond between the two, with hypocritical and vicious gut-gouging scumbags like that Father Cleary fellow playing a prominent role in both.:):)

    Anyone who protested too loudly or visibly against the JPII would have had his skull cracked by a baton wielded by a big thick altar-eating Garda.:rolleyes:

    In those days, the kiddy-fiddler church had the heads of pretty well everyone in Catholic Ireland well and truly fcuked. :eek:

    Only later did it emerge that they were fcuking our children as well.:mad:

    Now Ratzi would get a completely different reception, and I doubt whether he really wants to face the humiliation that would await him.;)

    Well it's harder now that all the child abuse stuff is out in the open. I hear he's got awful blue balls at this stage.

    Would just hope he would not come up here. Otherwise I would protest. But if it is just the Republic, that is fine by me.

    The RCC deserves nothing but devotion and absolute obedience.
