Lets look at the popes visit as an opportunity to

Whilst I agree with all the sentiment etc I still wonder why we don't get similar threads or columnists in the Guardian about other 'great religions' that in reality encourage homophobia, massive sexual discrimination...actually Femicide let's be blunt....or is that just left to mad southern Preachers?


He's an easy target, all bigotry should be exposed.

Some of my catholic friends suffer from 1st degree guilt some of the others who are less driven have only


achieved "A" level guilt.


The denial of justice to the victims is one of the greatest debacles of this institution,


as it casts a shadow over any good deeds it performs in the world.


I still think that suggesting he opens an abortion clinic is hardly the correct activity for the pope to perform as there must be loads of 'befitting' chores which would be more suitable.

I think ignoring him would be the worst thing we can do.

Just as we should not ignore any group / cult / religion / whose remit is to order other people around and make them do things that are dangerous / immoral / illegal / unfair / discriminatory / etc etc.

I think it is a scandal that it is a state visit, ie. your taxes are paying for his visit. (I earned so little last year I don't get to pay taxes this year, so its your taxes!)

Anyone remember an episode of "Old Harry's Game", written by and starring Andy Hamilton where upon being asked "What shall I do with this new batch of sinners Oh Satan?"

Satan: "Put them in the pit with the pregnant Popes"

New arrival in Hell: "Pregnant Popes?"

Satan: "Yeah. Up to their knecks in excrement while suffering agonising birth pains for all eternaty."

Something along those lines anyway.

Have I offended some catholics?

Tough.

The Pope though is not every catholic...he IS however Catholicism and that makes him different to other religions that do not have a single living figurehead at the helm. My objection is to him personally, because he is the worst kind of Catholic. I would say the same of the worst kind of Jews, Muslims, and Christians and anyone that condones oppression and hatred. Those kinds of people are simply fascists who then use religion to justify their fascism.

    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
