There's a lot of controversy about The Pope of course. I've been watching some of the TV docu's but didn't want to post what I think in case it offends anyone here who's RC. It would be an unresolved and endless debate!
-
Don't worry I'm RC. I was hoping for a bit of a fuss :P
Spectacles
Testacles
wallet and watch
:signLOL:

So, has The Pope landed in the UK yet or is he still sh!tting in the woods? :evilgrin:
-
The masses are gathering up in Scotland as we speak.

Then I think I'll go and find some TV News to watch - :happy2:
And then my wooden stirring spoon :wink:

All porridge eaters should be burnt at the stake like the witches they are!

I just watched Ch4 News and was struck by how there was some strong undercurrent of disdain from Queenie and The Dooke. However, I shouldn't be surprised because English history has hosted animosity between the Protestant and Catholic faiths for several centuries. It's always been a human power struggle rather than something truly spiritual.
Oh well, better that any religious differences are tolerated by each and every one of us - That's fundamental to most existing religions I know of.
Peace :grouphug:

A bloomin farce, Edinburgh was grid locked, folk sitting in traffic jams for 1.5hrs so the pope mobile can drive into the city.

Does he remind anyone of the Weiss Engel in that old film Marathon Man? ***shudders***

I have to admit that I feel a strong hatred due directly to what I've learnt about Catholic malpractices. I once witnessed firsthand something shocking too. However, there are millions of faithful Catholics who strive to be good human beings and also those who need a religious faith to help get them through their tragic life circumstances. I must respect the good people. But I don't approve of those on a mission to convert everyone else. Anyway, I don't want to bore everyone by droning on and on.
Human beings, religion, and politics, eh! :sad1:

I find it disgusting that the tax payer is footing the shortfall in cost for his visit. At a time when cancer patients are being refused vital drugs and the police are facing spending cuts, lets spend millions on giving the pope a holiday :sick:

Everyone has morals they just choose whether or not to use them. Religion isn't about that although they preach about said morals. In the end their own religion is the right one and that will never change and neither will the conflict that arises.
Just been reading a bit about Buddism, and if it wasn't for idiots like Richard Gere they got the right idea about things. IMO
-
Aethism is the way forward :laugh:
Politics and religion should never be mixed, in some countries this will never be able to be the case but the moment that a supposidely impartial government funds a religious leaders trip, the line has been crossed.
I understand that we should financially support certain elements of the trip such as public safety but thats where it should stop in my opinion, the vatican/ RC church shoud have footed the entire bill.

....Yep, those Buddhist babes are the best! My first serious gf was a Malay Catholic and my second a Vietnamese (Laos) Buddhist.
The recording studio has these Buddha's in the garden - Such an image of peace:

First thing I said when hearing the estimated cost. This country seriously needs to get a grip.

....Plus it's not as if the Vatican City and the Holy C are exactly impoverished! They can afford their own trips eeeeasy. Football clubs have to pay for extra policing etc don't they?

A drunk that smelled like a brewery got on a bus one day. He sat down next to a priest. The drunk's shirt was stained, his face was full of bright red lipstick and he had a half-empty bottle of wine sticking out of his pocket. He opened his newspaper and started reading. A couple minutes later, he asked the priest, "Father, what causes arthritis?"
"Mister, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol, and contempt for your fellow man," the priest replied.
"Imagine that," the drunk muttered. He returned to reading his paper.
The priest, thinking about what he had said, turned to the man and apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?"
"I don't have arthritis, Father," the drunk said, "but I just read in the paper that the Pope does."
-
The Pope arrives in heaven, where St. Peter awaites him. St. Peter asks who he is.
The Pope: "I am the pope."
St. Peter: "Who? There's no such name in my book."
The Pope: "I'm the representative of God on Earth."
St.Peter: "Does God have a representative? He didn't tell me ..."
The Pope: "But I am the leader of the Catholic Church ..."
St. Peter: "The Catholic church ... Never heard of it ... Wait, I'll check with the boss."
St. Peter walks away through Heaven's Gate to talk with God.
St. Peter: "There's a dude standing outside who claims he's your representative on earth."
God: "I don't have a representative on earth, not that I know of ... Wait, I'll ask Jesus." (yells for Jesus)
Jesus: "Yes father, what's up?"
God and St. Peter explain the situation.
Jesus: "Wait, I'll go outside and have a little chat with that fellow."
Ten minutes pass and Jesus reenters the room laughing out loud. After a few minutes St. Peter asks Jesus why he's laughing.
Jesus: "Remember that fishing club I've started 2000 years ago? It still exists!"

I can't help thinking that The Pope's UK visit is just a big PR exercise with the underlying real purpose of gobbling up and digesting more souls. Of course, for the party faithful he can do no wrong in spite of the fact that he's just an elected political head on a Vatican 'state visit' (good excuse to claim expenses from UK taxpayers).
Is he welcome? - Well, the people of this country are very tolerant but the whole affair is pompous imho and slightly desperate in the face of growing secularism. History tends to repeat itself and human hypocrisy is alive and kicking.
Just my opinion :smiley:
-
Politically speaking, securing a papal visit will have its benefits. It appeases a section of society, it will spark some form of economic reaction, it takes attention away from other more pressing items of news. For these reasons, and probably numerous others, the government will pay for it and the cost be passed on to the taxpayer. It's not right, but its how it is.
The controversy around catholic priests I find harder to digest. This has been going on for years and has almost become a running 'joke'. Yet once the pope has gone, the media will drop the topic and society will revert back to ignoring the situation. The crux of the problem is that those in positions of 'power' are protected by the networks which they move within. How do we break this down?

Very well put, Ian :happy2:
As many others have said before and will say again: So-called 'religion' is hugely responsible for terrible human conflict and wars. Unfortunately it's all tightly wrapped up in political power and propaganda - This state is officially this or that religion etc. The era of Henry VIII is the perfect example, also The Crusades are to blame for totally unnecessary conflict with the Muslim world. I must go... I have a music biz funeral to attend (crem).
