mj.scuba Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Tony Blair is a convert to Catholicism . With all the money he makes from his lectures ,why not let him pay for the Popes visit, and show his loyalty ? Dirty money perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaFan Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Can't the Pope sell some spells or summat to fund his visit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfish1936 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 We have paid for many many visiting dignatories over the years; heads of state, presidents, prime ministers, monarchs & religious leaders. Should we stop shelling out for all of them or just single out the Pope due to the prejudice of a few? Some political leaders come for confidential negotiations; but I notice that when Australian PMs go to the UK, we Australians pay their fares and hotel bills, likewise for the mob of "advisors" who come with them. As for religious leaders, film stars, footballers and Paris Hilton, lots of people want to turn out to see them, as devout RCs want to see the Pope; let their followers meet the cost! Of course, one must not forget the poverty of the Vatican, and therefore its inability to pay for its leader's travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
