Now I have nothing against God, but I do happen to think that religion is one of the greatest evils ever perpetrated on the human race. It has caused more death and suffering than anything else on the planet. If it did not exist, then we would have to find another reason to kill each other.
Having got that off my chest, da Pope is a head of state. It is a complete mystery to me why the Vatican is a seperate state, but that's up the the Italians. Nevertheless, as a head of state he is entitled to pay a state visit to other countries. No problemo. Bring it on...
But what is out of order is that one of the richest states - if not THE richest state - on the planet has the brass neck to put out the begging bowl to pay for the trip. That is, of course, on top of the millions we have to fork out to keep the old sod safe while he is here.
Now look here, Benny. You've got plenty of wedge. Don't take the piss by handing round the begging bowl. Just pop down to your museum and flog off a painting.
And don't rip off your flock by selling tacky souvenirs and T-shirts to swell your own obscene coffers.
And while we're at it, don't lecture us on the evils of materialism while you swan around in your gold threaded robes.
In other words, stop being a bloody hypocrite. When I see you dressed like Gandhi, then I'll take you seriously. Until then, sod off back to Rome...
