Is Faith Worth It?

So, the Pope is to visit our country.

We will welcome this ‘outreach’ from the head of the ‘true faith’, won’t we?
What is he coming for?
  • To admonish the wayward of these islands?
  • To forgive us? 
  • To apologise for the historical and on-going travesties of the Church of Rome?




We are told that the Pope's visit will cost the UK tax-payer £12,000,000 in respect of security and police protection.

If I want to visit Rome, I will pay my air fare. I will take out holiday insurance. I will pay for my accommodation. Bearing in mind my EU citizenship, I assume that the laws of that visited land are adequate to protect me at no additional personal cost.

Let the Pope bring his own Rottweilers at his expense!
