Those who don't seek for Truth in life come to be owned by the Dead of the past whose vegitative life still lingers on to the present through those who don't live their own life but are ragged to conformity.
And such make God's gift of life a Hell.

The Church is footing the bill for his visit, not the UK taxpayer. By the way, where are people like you when the G20 spends $90 million on a single day of tax money for security (more than the whole Papal visit).

Remarkable, yet predictable. It has become fashionably de rigueur to bash and vilify the Catholic Church, with the U.S media leading the stampede Yet the Islamic Standard brings this vilification to new heights–or is it depths–with its vitriolic condemnation of an essentially beneficent institution. As a U.S Episcopalian, I urge my fellow believers to pray for the Pope–for God's hand of protection and blessing upon him–and that his visit to England will warm the cold if not bitter of heart to God's enduring mercy, and remind us all of the innate goodness of the Catholic Church and its vast majority of people and priests.

Yeah, Catholics deny science all the time: The Big Bang, the laws of inheritance, the measurement of air pressure, germs and infection, Heliocentrism – all knowledge originally discovered by Catholics.

I suppose someone who can't even spell shouldn't be expected to get facts straight, though…

'The single richest organisation in the world' – LOL. The Vatican hasn't even been able to balance the books until the present Pope came in.

You really need to improve your sources of information, sunshine.

If Muslims and Islam aren't the centre of attention all the time – they react badly. They need to be the focus of attention always. LOL

The Pope's visit is an ideal opportunity to showcase our beautiful religion for atheists and Muslims alike. We keep our beloved faith too close to our chests most of the time! We should do something like this every year – and have a Catholic Day in all the major city parks in the UK! What a day it could be!

I deeply resent that in a time of austerity measures, the pope. hailing from the single richest organisation in the world, is planning to come here, and demanding security at the taxpayers expense,to preach his intolerant and backwards dogma,the majority of people in this country are now non believers in what the pope stands for, ie of a different or indeed of no faith,Why should my hard earned cash be taxed to pay for this arrogantly rich individual to push his intolerant doctrines?

Rofl.as an atheist, i would laugh my socks off at a big bust up between muslims and catholics, both symbolise what is worst in religion, dogma, denial of or resistance to the basic and provable principals of science,a self reichious belief they are infallible, let em get together and beat some religion into each other,just make sure it hits youtube
