I wonder if his Eminence has any other super hero apparatus? Eg. a Popetorch or a Poperope ladder?

Well quite! 
The two that are coming here have been driven over in a truck from the vactican. They even have their own oxygen supply in case of chemcial attack!!!
You would think the power of prayer would be enough.
Do you know why you never see the Pope's arms? He's got a tattoo of Alvin Stardust on his right bicep.

Not mutually exclusive!
thinking about it, The Pope's Arms would be a good name for a pub.

Take it outside, religion-hater!
Where's this new avatar we've heard talk of?

Has he got a new avatar lined-up? Ooh, I say!
I didn't mean to imply they were. What I really want to know is, if God is everywhere, what's His centre of gravity?

Don't you start. I have enough of that shit from the missing Milliband brother, Ben.

I think he probably just flaps and bounces around, like a jelly.
The twat.
Cameron's cutting the benefets of the sick and the poor to the bone, doing away with many arts bodies (UK Film Council just one) and he's still happy to fork out 10m minimum (I think the cost could double if there are protests) for this antiquainted and politically dangerous old fool in the middle of a recession - It is an insult to non Catholics and enemies of the Catholic church, who are being asked to chip in for this needless visit.
Can it have benefits to non fawning catholics? Well potentially yes, if the Pope was to end up giving a public apology for the church's crimes in this country, and attempt at least to recognise that their worst policies are not good for the world. Is that likely to happen? Ever?
I think the Pope could walk into a firestorm of protest and general ill will and the whole expensive trip could just harm the catholic church and inter faith relations even more. Why can't they pay for all of it, not half of it? Do you know how much wealth that organisation still has? Billions and billions in terms of assets. The sale of a couple of old churches could probably fund this whole pompous visit. The whole thing is political, and even Cameron I am certain wants to gain something politically from welcoming the Pope. I don't say don't let the twit come here, just ask his church to completely fund it, and stop him giving out dangerous advice to the public while he's here.

Come on - get your avatar out for the ladies.
If there is an all powerful, all loving and all knowing God, then why is Patrick Kielty?
