Harleyman Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 there's a popemobile in the british leyland museum from the last time a pope visited, they could dust that off other website that actually mentions the popemobile But will it be able to "burn rubber" if a mob of angry demonstrators close in on it?

Grahame Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Interesting that he has so much faith in God, he needs to hide behind bullet-proof glass. It may be he knows all about the wickedness of sinful man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trans Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I am a non church goer and I object to the wider cost of the 50 million pound towards the visit being footed by the British tax payer when we are being told we are going to all have to tighten our belts. Like any club the people that use it should PAY for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattricia Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Of course. Thats good then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Thats good then. It would be good if he took steps to stamp it out. In my church the minister would be dismissed and if a criminal offence had been committed the police would be informed and the matter left with them, if no criminal offence had been committed then the matter would be dealt with internally and if he had broken the rules of the church, which are stricter than the law he would still be dismissed. Mind you I think priests should be married, they should be chaperoned, partly for their own protection, and there shouldn't be any unmarried clergy. Just my opinion though. As far as the public paying for the Popes visit goes, if the pastor of my daughters church is invited to Africa as he sometimes is then he goes at his own expense perhaps with some help from the church who invite him, although the only money they have is gifts from the congregation and they are best keeping what they have for use in their own community.

Number Six Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Mind you I think priests should be married, they should be chaperoned, partly for their own protection, and there shouldn't be any unmarried clergy. Just my opinion though. Married and chaperoned, or chaperoned by their spouse? What if someone wants to be a priest before they've met 'the one'? Do they have to wait?

Yay! We agree on something - I knew there must be something :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloomdido Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 So who has been and did you donate? I missed the morning service as I have a house-full of atheists but am hoping to get along to an evening service. I haven't really done this before. Do I need to ask for a receipt or will they just give me one on the way out? Is it giftaided? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
