The Height of Idiocy...

It is costing millions of pounds to bring the Pope to this country and in the same breath this government has stopped building new schools and even repairing the old ones. Please tell me why this former member of The Hitler Youth is coming here anyway? What is he going to do when he gets here? Cameron talks about this "wonderful country", we are a laughing stock....I'm sorry but that's how i feel...

[ummmm]

There are 4.5 million Catholics
50 million COE
And only app 5.5 million of all other denominations?

Nelson Mandela is twice the man this Pope or any Pope could be. No comparison in my view .

I too am enraged by the cost of bringing this man into our country. His entourage of about 100 have to be put up in the best hotels,(paid by us) the whole of London is turned upside down while he is here. Is there a benifit for the people here? I don't think so,
I wouldn't go round the corner to see him.

I am C of E but I don't see a problem with the Pope coming to my country!!
As far as I am aware the Vatican together with the R C Church are very wealthy institutions so why not make them pay for the visit!!!
