LONDON (AFP) – Gay-rights campaigners and secularists called on Tuesday for protests during a visit to Britain by Pope Benedict XVI this year, after he condemned equality legislation seen as friendly to gays.
The 82-year-old pontiff, who made his comments in a letter to the bishops of England and Wales on Monday, is reportedly set to visit Britain in September, the first such trip in 28 years.
Human rights campaigner and gay activist Peter Tatchell said he saw the pope's letter as an attack on the legal rights granted to gay people and women.

I gotta wonder how many of those protesters are Catholic. Then I wonder, how many of those protesters even believe in God and why would they give a crap what the pope says?

You can show proof that the pope is a pedophile?
In my opinion, the only ones needing to be concerned are queer Catholics.

I've seen it reported that his visit will cost the British taxpayer an estimated £20,000,000. Let the Vatican or the Catholic church in the UK pay for his visit. They are the interested party in all this. They are the only ones who are going to take notice of his rambling condemnations

I can't blame you there. God knows, you have more than enough home grown pedophiles.
