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.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
