Papal Visit...

[john1066]

The imminent visit of the Pope has raised questions as to the millions of pounds it will cost for his visit will be money well spent due to the recent scandal regarding child abuse among the clergy. If he were to visit your town centre ,would you go to see him?

He wont be in your town then so no worries:)
I think for a mometious occassion like that it should be left for the Catholics.It will possibly be a lifetime experience for them and shouldnt be infiltrated by someone just wanting a nosy -to them its the be all and end all.Even I understand that and religion is alien to me.

Don`t be so silly Dris. Apart from the fact that you are assuming my religion and whether I am athiest or not, have you never visited a Synogogue in Israel, a mosque somewhere in the world, or a buddist temple in Thailand/Sri Lanka etc where you just like to go and be educated.enlightened? Or maybe you just to Benidorm or Butlins Minehead. Don`t be so narrow-minded!

O.K. Dris, then let the catholics pay for his security!!!

Costs are being met by the catholic church. Only State functions are met by Gov at their invitations.

Why does a wee debate have to turn nasty?

So, catholics might, and I say might, I don't believe it for one minute, be paying for the pope's visit, but what about his retinue. I have just read that 11 of them will be staying in £900 a night hotel rooms at the tax payers expense. why should we pay. It is now estimated that this visit will cost in the region of £12 million pounds, he is only a man
