It's symbolic and all about the accusation, though.
Yeah he's making a statement. And for once I kind of agree with the guy on something. If he's at all serious though he's completely deluded. How about stop being such a drama queen and instead of trying to arrest the Pope straight out, push to launch a proper investigation into the vaticant and find some hard evidence that will prove Benedict guilty. How about instead of writing books ripping on religion help out the very kids he's apparently fighting for. He doesn't give a shit about these kids rights or their suffering he just sees an opportunity to have a go at the Pope. The victims are just his vehical.

Its like vegitarians. They make a big fuss over animal rights, and then they don't eat meat. But they never actually do shit for the cause, its naive to think you're doing anything by simply 'making a statement'. That's just like saying, 'ok I'm gonna complain and make people aware about something so that THEY can take care of the problem'.

Someone posted it on the other page, he has denied involvment on his website. Even should he be involved both he and hitchens would be doing it to raise awareness around the issue as opposed to actually trying to get the pope put in prison.

I am fairly sure if we put the pope in prison 1/3 of the world would declare war on Britain.

I dont know why he thinks he welcome here anyway, this isn't a catholic country. Its barely a christian country.

    From what hear is that the british justice system takes no bullshit. Escpecially after what they did to the israeli hot shot.

    If dawkins and co. do have a case, the vatican simply wont come to england. And that my friends would be a huge slap to the pope's face. He wont go because he is wanted :D

    Most of the world isn't Budist either but everyone loses it when the Delai Lama comes to town. Its just because these leaders are such huge influencial figures and have been for so long that we 'need' to see them.

    I really don't think (living here) that anyone will care that hes come here. They may see it on the news but barely anyone is going to flood to the streets to see the guy, people have got shit to do. The only way i can see people flooding the streets over him coming here is if its in protest, us brits fucking love to protest stuff.

    Trust me people will go. Britain might not be Catholic dominated but they're still there. People are just fascinated by these political figures anyway and have nothing better to do with their time then take a few photos. The Pope has been arguably the most influencial political and religious figure in Europe for how many centuries now? And of course there will be a massive protest.

    He isn't directly involved in killing people. Livni is, there is a world of difference between that inhumane woman and the Pope.

    The Pope allows his priests to rape children and gives order to cover it up. The church once had a call center for receiving complaints and they were flooded with thousands of calls the first day. They shut it down a day later as they weren't ready to deal with that much calls.

    So yes the pope is in someway a rapist, unjust when justice is not for his best interest and one hell of a SOB for allowing this to happen especially that priests are gone to for learning, spiritual guidance etc.

    Livni is a whore no doubt about that.... but she is in war.. Palestinians do not go to her for spiritual guidance. They Identify her as an enemy and she does as well. The Pope, on the other hand, and his team of rapists supposedly are guides and the children identify them as idols
