So who's going to see the Pope?

There was another cult in the US of A that wore white robes and funny hats, they werent too popular for their beliefs, nor is the catholic church.

The only cult should should be allowed, if The Cult.

KKK?



Ironic analogy


Yeah, just like yourself, they tried to deny rights to people who were Catholic

how many of those covered up institutional child sex abuse?

Probably around the same amount as those whom you would seek to prevent from having their day out.




Given that you think the Catholic Church is a criminal organization, and others equally think that Jews control the world, surely their reasoning for preventing Jews from attending a Rabbi even would be as legitimate as your reasoning?


Unless you think it is possible that you could pick a random sample of a billion people from around the world and expect everyone within that sample to be a saint?

Ah it's not. What is it a protest against? Will you be able to look at each empty space and say why that person did not come?



It's just lazy arseholes


If you want to protest, go make up a banner and stand outside the event.


It's just about denying something to someone else that might make the other person happy.


The only valid protest related to tickets is not to attend if you don't want to.

Have you ever heard of a sit-in? It's the same kind of principle. As to what it's a protest against, I would have thought that was obvious - it's a protest against a visit to our country by the head of an evil, twisted organisation which has caused untold misery and pain to millions of people all over the world.

How is it the same.


Just a load of sad case lazy internet keyboard warriors registering fake details on some website in the hope of denying something to someone else


If they want to protest, go ahead and go along on the day.


Again, on the "evil twisted organization". It's analagous to a theory or belief that the "lizard people are responsible for all the wars" and acting accordingly


If all tickets are taken and the place is half empty it will be explained away as gobshites registering for tickets. Whereas if only half the tickets were taken up in the first place then I would think that that would be a more effective protest

So your admitting, freely your taking tickets to prevent others from going. Cheers for that.

Isn't that obvious? Not sure what point you've made

Sour Lemonz wrote: »

Denying those sickos audience members is far more effective than actually protesting at the event.

You should know, at your inauguration you have to photo shop folks into the font of whitehouse to show "true" volume of supporters due to fake news. The reality was the timble weeds had a day out :rolleyes::pac::pac:

Not sure what a timble weed is supposed to be

well given that one is well established and the other is a conspiracy theory loved by nutters i cant see what you are getting at. I have made no comment on individual catholics.

Sure, I'd have no issue saying that. Just point me at the head of the muslim church and the list of things that church has done and not atoned for.

Catholicism of course being a sub-sect of Christianity, has an organisation with a titular head. An organisation which has directed and perpetrated many evils in this world.

Thus protest efforts can be far more meaningfully directed.

Except your comment wasn't just directed at the head of the church, it was at ordinary people who just want to go to see the man, they are no different to ordinary muslims which you guys on the left say day in day out are decent people.

Yet you say fuck ordinary catholics, your words not mine.

What this angle you're going with? When did Judaism or Rabbis or Jews cause massive widespread institutional abuse and subsequent cover ups in this country? It's really not comparing like with like.

I'm just trying to find out where people stand on the principles of the matter.


Seems to be that abuse of children happened -> fuck Catholics and it's grand to try to prevent them from doing something that they'd like to do.


I'm seeing whether the same logic applies to Jews


I picked Jews because people tend to be touchy about that topic due to stigma of being labelled anti-Semitic.



Surely you can tell the differences between a crime committed by a person who happens to be of a religion, and the actual religion?


If you're point is "well there weren't enough Jews abused in this jurisdiction" - i.e. it's grand if they only did it in other countries - then I'm not sure how to respond to that.



Surely you have to be consistent on your principles in order to prevail in your argument? Else you just have a hodge-podge of incoherent statements to fit the most recent question you were posed

If that guy comes, then sure. But there is no institution in judaism in to protest against. No overriding organisation. We do have such an origanisation in catholicism. An organisation that was complicit in the coverup and facilitation of child sex abuse. So i have no issue with people protesting against them.

Bullshit

The venom towards the Church is absolutely incredible in this thread. By this thread he is wasting his time and he is a good man too from what I have seen. Probably the best Pope we will see this century.

These threads always bring out the true hatred
and colours in those proclaiming to be all tolerant and secularist.

I would usually be the last person to defend the Catholic Church or the Pope but a lot of Catholics will want to go and see the Pope. This attitude in the Irish Republic against Catholics right now is very odd. It's almost as if they are allowed to exist (barely!) but can't be seen as that would be unacceptable.

It's not fine for the Pope to be invited but Obama was welcomed with open arms while bombing the hell out of children with drones.

This gets thrown out all the time.

Care to back it up with anything solid?

The pope will also be welcomed with open arms by officials and believers so I don't see your point.
