Great news! I’ll be going anyway, please God!
Also every hawker in Ireland. “Get your flags ! Get your glow sticks...”

Mark Henderson · 21-03-2018 12:08PM

Couldn't they have held it down the country or some place people believe in this cult?

baylah17 · 21-03-2018 12:08PM

Wonder will all the Priests that HIS Vatican has placed gagging orders on be there?
Wonder will he visit the Cesspit in Tuam as part of the celebration of the family?

Get the popcorn folks

The gaggle of usual anti Catholic posters will be along shortly! Its almost a drinking game at this stage. All onboard the outrage train! Choo choo!

I think there is an unopened box of plastic Vatican flags from 1979 up in the loft. (Beside the 'I shot JR' car sun visors).
Time to dust them off and get selling!

Its been reported that his visit will cost Ireland €20 million. If thats true, its shameful.

Ulysses Gaze · 21-03-2018 12:27PM

He could have been Pope. But the feckin' Jesuits have it all tied up.

Imagine that Ted, an Argentinian Pope!!

1. If the priests that have been “gagged” don’t agree with the Pope then I don’t know why they would want to be there. They really should start their own religion with rules that they do agree with, don’t you think?
2. If he went to Tuam what would you like him to do there and how would his visit to Tuam benefit anyone?

Ubbquittious · 21-03-2018 12:28PM

I am tempted to go. Missed out on the one in 79, it must have been quite a spectacle that time.

the_pen_turner · 21-03-2018 12:31PM

we should all go dressed up like father ted charictars . have signs like thats an ecumenical matter adn down with that sort of thing.

King George VI · 21-03-2018 12:34PM

Nice, I'll be going. Heard he does good mass, 4 hours on a good day.

kneemos · 21-03-2018 12:34PM

One day he's a Cardinal and nobody gives a ****e. Next he's Pope and folk flock to catch a glimpse.

I don't get it?

It'll probably bring a huge amount to the economy though.

He's the elected monarch of a church going back thousands of years with billions of followers across planet Earth. How can it be hard to fathom that people might want to see him?

They aren't going to see the man, they're going to see the office that man represents.

Revenue should do the collection in the Phoenix Park. Buy a few hundred baskets and pass them round.

aaronjumper · 21-03-2018 12:39PM

Which Pope though?

He could start by begging for forgiveness for the crimes against humanity carried out by the criminal conspiracy that he heads.

yes well Colin Farrell was once a nobody on Ballykissangel, now hes a Hollywood superstar who people would flock to catch a glimpse of. The Pope has put in the hours giving top class masses, he deserves the adoration:p

He seems reasonable enough, albeit judged against his predecessors.

I'd have been all up for a massive protest against Ratzinger, not so much this guy.

1.2 Billion catholics or thereabouts and quite a few non practising so not quite in the billions.

I'm just happy I've flights booked for August because things are going to get very expensive very quickly.

They love they're symbolism in fairness.

The Backwards Man · 21-03-2018 12:45PM

Would the Pope give you and the Zetor a tow out of the slunks in the bog, or hold the jack when you're pulling a calf from a cow?

He would in me hole.

smurgen · 21-03-2018 12:46PM

Be great if he could settle the church's abuse compensation tab while he's here.hope.he brings the cheque book with him.

Pro church person in denial. Nothing new there.

Oldtree · 21-03-2018 12:48PM

He'll probably pontificate somewhat, but I bet you he dosn't say this or he'll get stoned

Might be a bishop or two he might like to vocally support with a bit of anti-calumny!

Here comes the Pope!
