Pope visiting the UK: what would you ask?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

That's a good one; some folk did refuse to join up (and were martyred).

Indeed. I doubt either of us would have refused to sign up in his position, but we're not claimed to be "infallible" or "holy" by anyone! Well, I suppose it's possible someone does, somewhere..and I would look much better in a gown than Benny. He has rubbish legs.

Oh, for all those Germans who were annoyed at the British media making remarks about the "Nazi Pope" when Ratzinger was ordained, you might want to keep elderly German cardinals away from reporters.

"The Vatican said the Cardinal had not intended "any kind of slight", and was referring to the UK's multicultural society."

Shame that Bomber Command memorial isn't up yet, really..the Popemobile could "accidentally" get stuck and the Papal entourage marooned there for a few hours..

"But Mr Ratzinger's arrival was overshadowed last night after one of his best friends described Britain as both a 'third world country' and a society with a frighteningly high number of people who can read and think.

Logan added: "When I heard the phrase 'third world', I didn't think he was being racist or particularly offensive, I just assumed he must have driven on a British motorway.

"So yes, in that sense Britain is like a third world country, the key difference being that thousands of people aren't dying of AIDS every day because some mad old f**ker in a pointy hat told them that johnny bags are made by Lucifer.""

It stayed sunny all day. Damn it Glasgow.

Frankly, I'd have SIGNIFICANTLY less contempt towards Catholicism if there were some way of wiping out the illogical and utterly buttfuck ridiculous concept of "Catholic guilt".

f**k's sake, enjoy the f**king world whilst you're still here, don't worry about whether your enjoyment is good, bad or ugly.
