Why can't they organize the Queen and the Pope's visit to run concurrently.

They could organise a winner take all fight at the river Boyne.
Catholics to convert if the Pope loses and vice versa, should sort out sectarianism for once and all in this country.

I would pay to see this, RTE could have exclusive rights and sell the fight to the world.

I imagine there will be a sizeable amount of people who will be loudly voicing their concern over clerical abuse in the RCC. They may well still be practising Catholics, despite their horrific experiences.

Well I hope so. If I'm in Ireland at the time I'll be there with them. Though honestly I think it will be more like the protests against him in Britain

I remember that a lot of clerics seemed very disappointed by those. I had the distinct impression that they had in fact hoped for some kind of eclat, maybe so they could portray the church as the good guys for once. It was almost sad seeing them so despondent.


Almost.

I think people have the right to protest his or Brenda's visit, in much the same way as they have to line up and applaud the visitors. Or ignore them.

Who's Brenda??

the catholic organisation is one of, if not, the richest cults on the planet. it can pay for that animal to come if it wants to visit. we cant afford it.

He is a head of state, not just a man in frock and should be treated like just another state visit.

And our Head of State when he arrives could be David Norris.

Talk of men in frocks could be very interesting !

And we'll have a Queen and a Pope in the country at the same time after all.




I'm kinda looking forward to it now.

The Queen, The Pope and The President...

There has to be a joke there somewhere.

Why is he going to Croke park? No point in wasting the Phoenix park thingy that was set up especially last time.

I'd sooner welcome the Queen.

deman

People seem to forget that he's head of a state (a small one with a big "diaspora") so as long as he's treated like a head of state then, grand.

Protests? Grand. "Affirmative Action"? Nah, hope the cops faceplant ye to concrete, cos you're ignoring the devouts, and they're people too.

The bar is full of American, English and Irish punters.

Obama says to the Queen and Pope, "Watch this, if I shout out 3 little words, all the Americans here will repeat them after me"

He then shouts out "YES WE CAN", and sure enough all the yanks in the pub repeat it after him.

So the Queen says to President Obama, "Watch this, with one wave of my arm I can get all the English people in here to greet me with applause"

So she gives a little wave and sure enough all the English people present give her a round of applause and sing 3 cheers for the Queen !

So the Pope then says to the barman, "Watch this, by reaching out my arms, I can get all the Irish people here to cheer loudly, give me a standing ovation and buy me drink all night"

And with that, he stands between the Queen and the President, reaches his arms out rapidly in each direction -

And knocks the pair of them spark out.

So anyone else figuring that asking our newly inoculated guvnor(ment) to say thanks but fop off will work?

Don't mind the Pres and yer wan - but surely we can keep cult leaders out of here? Now if he wants to come here on a personal holiday and spend some church cash go for it - just as long as he stays away from the kiddies.

Oh look, intelligent, passive, witty pointed protest. Nearly as good as assaulting the Guards and vandalising cars with building rubble on your own streets when making a 'political' protest.

We shouldn't stoop to that level. We can be better than that!

Your're right we shouldn't shoot the Roman Emperor, but maybe we should choose a method of death that was used during the inquisition.

Is he coming over to pay off the E500 million they owe?

No? Ah well I'm sure he'll encourage us to abandon our sinner ways while somehow keeping a straight face after all the sh!t they've pulled.

The Pope and the Queen of England are on the same stage in front of a huge crowd. Her Majesty and His Holiness, however, have seen it all before, so to make it a little more interesting, the Queen says to the Pope, “Did you know that with just one little wave of my hand I can make every English person in the crowd go wild?”

He doubts it, so she shows him. Sure enough, the royal-gloved wave elicits rapture and cheering from every Englishman in the crowd. Gradually, the cheering subsides. The Pope, not wanting to be out done by someone wearing a worse frock and hat than he, considers what he could do. “Your Majesty, that was impressive. But did you known that with just one little nod of my head I can make every Irish person in the crowd go crazy with joy?"

"This joy will not be a momentary display like that of your subjects, but will go deep into their hearts, and they will forever speak of this day and rejoice.” The Queen seriously doubts this, and says so - “One little nod of your head and all Irish people will rejoice forever? Show me.” So the Pope headbutts the old bitch!.
