After some urk in the civil service sending a memo about ideas for the Pope when he comes to the UK the Vatican is “hugely offended” by the Foreign Office memo mocking his stance on abortion and birth control,
The memo, sent out in March following a “brainstorm” session by Foreign Office staff who are helping prepare for Pope Benedict XVI’s visit in September, warned recipients that the contents “should not be shared externally” because the offending document, titled “The Ideal Visit”, contained “even the most far-fetched of ideas”.
As well as suggesting the launch of “Benedict” condoms, the memo also proposed that the Pope should “announce sacking of dodgy bishops”, sponsor a network of AIDS clinics, conduct a training course for bishops on child abuse allegations and ordain a female priest.
Embarrassingly for the Queen it also suggested getting the Pope and Her Majesty to sing a duet for charity and changing the national anthem from God Save The Queen to God Save the World.
What is very curious,is that the Vatican is outraged about this, but don't feel the need for the POPE who is the only person to rule and judge the Catholic Church, to apologize personally, for all of the paeodophiles in the Catholic Church and all of the kids abused over the years.
So we have a point here, where the UK Government was quick to apologize, although the Pope refuses to apologize for the abuse of it's employees!!! It seems forgiveness is one way.
The Pope is threatening to cancel his visit to the UK. Fine please do so then we won't have a hypocrit on our island!!!
I have personal memories of such hypocracy. My parents were catholics, but non-practising. When my Mother died they then refused to attend her funeral. where is the forgiveness. This is where the Church fails and it's numbers dwindle.
