I'm hearing that only 65,000 of tickets have been sold out of 100,000 for his Glasgow gig. Amazing how faith goes out the window when it's 20 quid a head. This new guy just doesn't have the magic of John Paul II. That guy was oozing effortless charm.
Now the pope's aide has said UK is a craphole..and this recognition has won me back over a bit.

Yeah Robbie Williams will be loving angels while the Catholics will be loving bo.... ahem cough... I'll think I'll stop there just in case it is real and I go to hell.
Yes and no
luckily I booked tickets for Monster Jam at Birmingham NIA on Staturday and not Sunday.
Sunday; parking could be a nightmare with the Papel visit to Brum.
Hagley Road (which is next to the NIA) is closed from 08.00 until 15.00 on Sunday which will effectively block off most of the town centre. Thats buggered me for getting to the Car Boot on Sunday morning. Mind you if I spend any time on Hagley Road round the priests I could still end up getting buggered, probably too old thankfully.

About 20,000 unsold tickets in Birmingham @ ?25 a pop.

As has been mentioned before, Tim Minchin's Pope Song is spot-on but NSFW.
But now it has, for a limited time, the MP3 available for download. Get it quick!

I just hope that everyone who has bought a ticket are also bringing rotten eggs and vegetables to throw at him. And then bring in a giant blower to cover him in feathers.
It might make the cost of a visiting Nazi worthwhile then.

He certainly has a very hateful past record for attacking other people for their colour, race and beliefs, including supposed incidents of uncontrolable rage and anger. This does not sit well with the image of a peace loving messenger of God. I know he did not want to be chosen as the Pope and asked to leave his job so that he could not be elected, yet this is supposed to be the highest honour in the Catholic Religion, so he is an unwilling Pope, what good will he possibly achieve ?

Wasn't he? Oh well.
What about Benedict XVI though?
He was in the Hitler Youth; that's not quite the Nazi party but I'm sure it comes close enough for most people.
That's no big deal, as it was compulsory for all young Germans at the time, but you'd think that he'd bear little things like that in mind before launching into a speech likening atheists and secularists to the Nazis. Something about stones and glass houses springs to mind.
if it's not a big deal, why was it necessary to bring it up? (not meanng you Matt)
he also renounced Nazism when he was free to do so.
edit:also, which speech was that?
oh this,
"We can recall how Britain and her leaders stood against a Nazi tyranny that wished to eradicate God from society and denied our common humanity to many, especially the Jews.
"I also recall the regime's attitude to Christian pastors and religious who spoke the truth in love, opposed the Nazis and paid for that opposition with their lives.
"As we reflect on the sobering lessons of the atheist extremism of the 20th century, let us never forget how the exclusion of God, religion and virtue from public life leads ultimately to a truncated vision of man and of society,"
yeah, two sentences later is not the same thing as 'likening' - besides, communism killed nobody, right?

Lets see if Simon Cowel can get the pope on as Judge in the X-Factor. They could rename it Pope-Idol. Budoom tissh.

Document these claims, please.

I guess you could call it getting his Godwin in early. :smile:
unlike all those very religious Christian countries in central America and southern Africa...
Guess he has a different definition of third world in his dictionary :lol:
