So who's going to see the Pope?

Plenty of tickets still available it seems so I doubt the above is making much of an impact.

It is a bit like the Nigel Farage Brexit talk - booking out free tickets as a simple protest making the organisers restart the process.

I am surprised that clergy wanting to concelibrate register the same way, I wonder what checking goes into that.

I have my reasons for doing it. Interesting how it seems to be only you who has engaged in the foul language with other posters. I could think of a word to describe that behaviour but I won't stoop to your level pet. At least you picked up on the sneering attitude I was worried it was too subtle for you. : )

If people had to pay for tickets they would have sold out in 30 minutes. Since they are free no once seems to want them. Plenty left.

eviltwin · 25-06-2018 8:17pm

I'm not surprised tickets are still available. Half a million was always a bit ambitious.

Very little new material in the past 2000 years.

You're so right.

I was walking down O'Connell St yesterday and couldn't go 50 metres without a damn secularist, atheist or liberal talking at me through a microphone about how I should live my life.

Oh, no, wait...

Q. How do you know someone is an atheist?

A. They tell you. Over and over and over again

Very original. Even if it was true it’s better than standing on street corners harassing people.

While the secularist, atheist and Christian not-so-free market pushers harrass us not merely on street corners pushing their "Buy, buy, buy" fundamentalist capitalist propaganda shít but in every area of society including in our own homes via tv and radio to an extent I for one have never, ever endured from any religious group.

Suppose it's not fashionable in After Hours to object to all these consumerist fundamentalists pushing their environment-destroying needless shíte everywhere so focus instead on the near has-been power of the RCC as the great evil of 2018.

About 248,000 taken up about 7pm. Up take slower than I thought.

You can buy your place in heaven with the RCC. Consumerism at its worst. Praying on the vulnerable.

They control the media, so don't worry, it brainwashes as many people equally as well.

Yeah, most RCC defenders don’t normally understand when it’s spelled ‘preying’.

Whatever your opinion of the Catholic Church, snapping up tickets that might mean an individual person misses out is pretty nasty

I don't see how anyone could argue with what Stephen Fry said there. As a challenge, is anyone able to come up with a sensible rebuttal? One that doesn't involve either shooting the messenger or falling back on the old "God moves in mysterious ways and how can we poor mortals hope to understand him" argument.

Well that's a new one on me how someone can be catholic and not recognise Frank as the leader, but hey you seem to be the expert on all things catholic even though you aren't one.

Because they are catholic and not Roman Catholic. The Pope is the head of the Roman Catholic church.

Someone once described Stephen Fry as a stupid persons idea of an intelligent person. That video proves it.

I have well over 1K now

I will give them away for free to anyone that donates to one of my chosen charities. They obviously pay for the postage

and paypal fees.

Maybe you just paid a bit of attention to your JC history up until around hte Reformation and kinda got stuck at that part.

I think you might be mixing them up with the Protestant Evangelical TV scam artists over in the US and beyond

Oh. Sorry. I forgot you can just say sorry too. However, some people find it easier to part with cash than apologise.

Loads left, they aren't exactly being snapped up. Plenty of time for anyone with a genuine interest to get one.

Knock yourself out.

I reckon that once the 500k limit is hit, they'll just expand it a few hundred thousand more anyway, safe in the knowledge that not everyone will turn up.

And sure, the history books will reflect the massive interest in tickets for his visit. Numbers will be nicely pumped up by the likes of yourself :pac:

It's just sad that you'd be so petty as to gain sanctification out of trying to ruin something for someone else who never did anything on you.

Yep. The pope is no Garth Brooks. He can’t even give the tickets away it seems.

Give us an example of how "You can buy your place in heaven with the RCC".

Go on. Tell us how it works.

Couldn't be that you're talking ignorant shite could it? :pac:

Because I can give you plenty of examples of Evangelicals from the US doing it blatantly and overtly. Surely you can explain to me how the RCC does it?

So who's going to see the Pope?
