aumentouI don't know how catholics feel about the pope, but if I were them I'd probably feel the same as I currently feel about prince phillip. As in, he's not one of us and I'd like it if he'd fuck off. Or at least stop saying really stupid things.
Anyway, here's the pope, visiting the UK. So he's suggested atheism is linked to nazism. He also met the queen, and offered the hand of friendship to the whole of the UK. Well, except for all the atheists obviously. Meanwhile, it seems a little odd to me that the queen, the head of the church of england, should invite the head of the catholic church over. It seems to me that there have been a few wars between England and other countries because earlier popes called for them, so I'm thinking we're owed an apology.
And then he was given an assembly of children to celebrate catholic education. It could just be me, but the idea of putting a bunch of children in the same place as a guy who covers up for paedophile priests in order to celebrate the education that puts priests in a position to abuse seems... what's the word? Stupid? Sick? An invocation of Poe's law?
Two quotes:
(the pope knows "rather well what the Nazi ideology is about")
Well he would, being a nazi sympathiser.
(She [the queen] also praised the Catholic Church's "special contribution" to helping the poorest and most vulnerable around the world.)
The queen, being a staunch imperialist, does love it when catholic charities help spread AIDS amongst non-british people with their "no condoms" message. She's plotting the day we take over africa again. Either that or she's being sarcastic.
