apparently at a cost of 12m to the taxpayer.... nice to see it being spent wisely.



Also Susan Boyle is singing on stage to the pope now, to be followed by Michelle McManus. That takes "celebrating mass" to a whole new level really doesn't it...

When he met Liz earlier I hope he asked her why her family frown upon their members marrying catholics and won't let them sit on the throne.



I doubt the two faced slag would have had an answer for him.

Easy answer.............. our country, our rules!!!



Anyway, offically the pope cannot ask the queen questions related to religion. Afterall, this is a STATE visit, not a religious one. The pope is here is head of the Vatican NOT as head of the catholic church. Still think its a bloody waste of money though ( just as visits by Mertle, Sarcosi, Obama, ....and I aint even gonna try the chinese one!)

i wonder if the queen asked the pope why the church employs so many paedophiles ?

And Nazis!

I wonder if the famous pope has come to england to see wigan!!!!!

To be fair I'm a catholic and I disagree with the visit and a number of teachings of the Catholic Church which is why I haven't been inside one in over a decade now.



I can't resist any opportunity for a dig at Liz's unelected mob though.

keeps her family in a job then...

According to 1 of the pope's closest aides, landing at heathrow airport is like travelling to a 3rd world country. He'll have a fu*king heart attack when he see's Glasgow!!!

Good job that Saint Helens isn't on the itinerary!

Not sure why you bothered with the German or French ones either....
