Farewell to Pope Benedict

[oscarina]

The Pope has now left the UK for his home in Rome! Supporters outweighed the protestors!

[lslowry]

Out of the population of Britain, not that many supporters Oscarina!

[lslowry]

I hope he's took his pervy priests with him!

[askyourgran]

I'm very pleased. although I am not a Catholic it was good to see all the people there to see him and take part in the services and prayers with him.

I know it sounds daft but I'm always ashamed of people who protest to visitors like the Pope, but maybe not for someone like Robert Mugabe.

[oscarina]

askyourgran, agree, where are all the Mugabe protestors! His crimes outweigh everyone else

ayg # I know it sounds daft but I'm always ashamed of people who protest to visitors like the Pope, but maybe not for someone like Robert Mugabe.#
It's not quite the same thing Mugabe represents a few thousand political supporters . Most Zimbabians are against him .
The Pope is the head of over a billion devout RCs , 5 million in this country .

[flip_flop]

That is the most ridiculous leap of logic I think I've ever heard.

What you are suggesting is that people who don't protest aganist Mugabe should not protest against the Pope.

People are able to protest aganist who the hell they like - or not protest at all.

All I will say is - Protest the Pope - better luck next time

[ll_billym]

Yep, cya later Pope, thanks for coming. It was truly amazing and changed everybodys life forever.

[Ric.ror]

I of course meant better luck in the sense that you failed miserable, and like Liverpool yesterday you were out classed, by those welcoming the holy father

[I.Don No]

You can count me as a protester. I am glad the nazi paedo shuffler has gone back to his castle.

[ummmm]

Did you protest?

[WShee9]

funny how alot of the protestors were catholics..survivors of abuse by priests etc....perhaps they were just bigots too...
