Inquiry into child abuse at Catholic institutions in Ireland

hahaha nice

was going to say "lol burn" but thought better not

john paul presented a jolly charismatic face of child rape denial.

He seemed so beatific and kindly when he was systematically covering up the widespread child abuse.

Yeah, I'm warming to Ben 16 because i'm so sick of hearing about how great JP II was when in reality he was a reactionary cunt

STADIUM MASS!

hmm i dunno what you expect from the head of the roman catholic church, tbh. i'm always surprised by vehement hatred of any of them for their conservative political/social views, as if great social change was one of the expectations of the incumbent.

that looks like it could take off at glasto tbf

He totally jumped into the crowd at the end, I heard.

Eavis is a bit of a god-botherer, don't put that idea into his head.

He totally jumped into the crowd at the end, I heard.

Went down into the pit to distribute communion to all the pretty girls in the front row.

He totally jumped into the crowd at the end, I heard.

And nobody caught him

they held that pose, then an absolute scorching bassline kicked in, PB launches into grindcore mass in latin

Compulsory mass at Glastonbury each day of the festival sounds like a great idea.

Wow, the Polyphonic Spree have a tribute band already?

hang on, that's not a real person on that cross is it?

Five held over papal terror alert http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11346001

oh dear, "The men are not British nationals." daily mail should be a good'un tomorrow.

think they may be irish?

Islams, maybe.

tho maybe that's because i saw it on the irishtimes site, cos i don't see any evidence of that anywhere now i look

oh dear, "The men are not British nationals." daily mail should be a good'un tomorrow.

yeah coz they'd go easy if it were brits

Extreme Noise Terror
Papal Terror
Terrorvision

xps

well, yeah, relatively at least

I'd be more surprised if the Pope came to Britain and there wasn't at least one plot to kill him.

well yeah, that's true

Wouldn't it be great if a couple of Vatican officials requested Anglican asylum, like North-Korean athletes?

radio news says 'algerian origin'

"Five held over papal terror alert" + not British nationals = I thought this would be about cardinals smuggling explosives into the country under their robes

The five men, all street cleaners in Westminster... all worked for Veolia Environment Services, a major contract cleaning company that does work for Westminster Council.

Fuggin' Tory councils privatising local services, putting us (and the Pope) at risk

when the robocop style corporate world takeover happens, veolia will be one of the prime candidates imo.

Olympics should be fun, eh?

Surprised the Pope has entered really.

Street cleaners, window cleaners, dustbinmen... who will be trying to murder us I wonder?

ever notice how clean everything looked in the 'matrix' world- PROPAGANDA

has anyone tried to egg benedict yet?

omg if this happens i am buying the next days paper and framing it. well, assuming a paper uses teh obvious pun headline and not something 'evil muslims jihadi popemobile with eggs' shit.

"NOW DAIRY PRODUCTS HAVE NO RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY"

NOW THEY'RE ASSAULTING POPE WITH FOREIGN EGGS WITH YOUR TAXES

Egging the Pope might be popular with the GBP

Egging any figure of authority is popular with the GBP.

THROWERS EGGS COMMUNICATED

not if the eggs are halal xp

good work NickB

4.20pm:
BREAKING NEWS: The pope's astronomer would be willing to baptise an alien, he confirmed today. Brother Guy Consolmagno, who is speaking at the British science festival at Aston university, Birmingham, tomorrow, said any intelligent creature living anywhere in space should be recognised as one of God's children – "no matter how many tentacles it has".

Consolmagno, who was interviewed by John Crace for the Guardian in 2006, said he would not force the catholic faith on an extraterrestrial being, however.

Speaking to PA, the papal astronomer said any intelligent aliens living elsewhere in the universe should be considered God's children, no matter what they look like.

"Going back to the Middle Ages, the definition of a soul is to have intelligence, free will, freedom to love or not to love, freedom to make decisions," he said.

"Any entity – no matter how many tentacles it has – has a soul."

In an interview Consolmagno admitted to being a science fiction fan – which he said got him into astronomy – and said he would be willing to baptise an alien, but "only if they asked".

Consolmagno, whose appearance at the British Science Festival is unrelated to Pope Benedict XVI's state visit, said: "I'd be delighted if we found life elsewhere and delighted if we found intelligent life elsewhere..

"God is bigger than just humanity. God is also the god of angels."

"Any entity – no matter how many tentacles it has – has a soul."

Has Paul der Orakel-Krake had an audience with the Holy Father yet? If he meets Bono, he'd meet anyone surely.

the vatican observatory is a totally amazing place btw. they run a summer school every year and it's basically the top 20 young astronomers in the world, and these people go on to do great things. so there's that. still, bunch of kiddy-fiddlers.

how many tentacles does god have, i wonder
