Oh this political correctness sensibility!

Change the record would you?

Oberon the crazy thing is the people not wanting Christmas to happen or have nativity scenes in shop windows aren't the ethnic minorities or religions but the silly white people who think they are going to get offended when all the ones I meet llike the Christmas malarky.

Back to the pope, when I hear him on the radio he DOES have the comedy sinister german accent when he speaks. Priceless.

I've been completely bladdered in several Islamic nations, and so have the locals. Bahrain tops the lot, strict Saudis crossing the causway, staying in luxurious villas or hotels with prostitutes and drinking all night - but that may just be jealousy talking.

Pope,Pope,Pope...Is there any damn news in the UK which has not got the Pope in it?

He's only come here to pick potatoes out of the ground - oh no, it was the last one that was Polish...

Germans have finally invaded Britain with a type XVI...

A sixth man has been arrested in London by police in relation to a potential threat to Pope Benedict XVI's visit.

His arrest, at 1345 BST, came after five men were seized at 0545 BST after counter-terrorism officers received intelligence of a potential threat.

All six, who were street cleaners, have been taken to a London police station.

Pfft, they'll probably have a choirboy special edition.

You're right Xabba, it is an equal opportunity offender. I should imagine most of those that these protesters protest for really don't care.

As a Catholic I myself have to admit that the current pope looks rather creepy

I'm sure kids will cry when they see him smirk or smile

It only needs a picture of him crawling upside down either on the floor or the ceiling to . . . . .make obvious. . . . .what his face tells about himself LOL

Skybird · 09-18-10, 03:54 AM

I have overestimated him massively when he entered office, thinking that what I have heared and read by him before would be examplary for the way he runs the papacy. He is capable of laser-sharp intellectual thinking, no doubt (I have read several pieces by him that clearly illustrated that - but I oversaw that he always puts it under the preassumption of that the stuff in the bible needs to be taken literal (so he explicitly said in his book about Jesus that got published when he became Pope - I even was blinded enough to buy it

). I should have known better - you do not become chief of the inquisition for just nothing.

Well, got blinded once by this guy. Will never get blinded by him again.

I also think that he must be kept unbelievably isolated from the reality outside the walls of the vatican by his staff. That way, he lives in an isolated artificial universe, and his thinking and his statements are coming from that.

I think a great deal of the upper echelons of the Church are like that. I think they long for a time when the Vatican had a great say in the politics of the nations of Europe, and they just haven't been able to move with the times. I think the current Pope wants to try and insert religion back into politics and take a more aggressive stance in the spreading of Christianity but because the top of the Church is in its own little hermetically sealed bubble, his statements only serve to further alienate people from the Church rather than to unite them under its banner.
