So /// Stephen Fry, Terry Pratchett, Philip Pullman and Richard Dawkins are among more than 50 public figures who have signed a letter to the Guardian arguing that the pope should not be given the "honour" of a UK state visit.///
Roman Catholic, Religious or not,
Why should the Pope not be given the honour of a UK state visit, just because of the Vatican's record on 'gay rights', 'abortion' and 'birth control'?
Would they also criticise other religions on their various records of their faith?

I've nothing really against the Catholic church itself. What I do object to is people, in this case priests, doing what they do and then their crimes are as ive said hushed up and glossed over.
I don't care if they're Catholics, Mormonsor little green men from Mars. If they are accountable to someone, and in this case they are to their "boss" the Pope, he should at least acknowllege, apologise and punish those said priests.

im sorry to say but havnt read the answers of this thread, because a similar one was asked today, and yesterday,,, can i just say a few things,, im am as appauled as anybody re sexual abuse, by anyone, it is worse when the abuser is in a position of power,but.................. not all catholic priests are child sex abusers,.............. catholics do not condone any cover up the pope may have been involved in.................. and before any of you ask, my religeon is not foe discussion, i will not be going to any venue tomorrow to see the pope, i believe some abers have used these question about the pope to "take a swipe " at catholics.
Sadly pope Benedict xvi is destined to destroy the catholic church within his lifetime, may it be through negligence, ignorance, his avoidance of clear evidence of the child abuse, complicity or sheer fate. History shows that you must never put one of the teutonic race in charge of anything other than his own ability to eat his breakfast. To those who doubt, please just wait and see. It pains me that I will be sadly proven right, rest assured I will be in due course. Prudentia xxx
