  A junior civil servant has embarrassed the UK foreign office with his suggestions for the popes visit to the UK in September

  The Foreign Office has been forced to issue a public apology after an official document suggested Britain should mark the Pope's visit this year by asking him to open an abortion clinic, bless a gay marriage and launch a range of Benedict-branded condoms...

  I've got another idea; throw his papal arse in Barlinnie prison with a load of Rangers fans as a reward for years of covering up child abuse

  The vatican has decided to be very offended indeed over this affair.

  Cardinal Renato Martino, the former head of the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, said: "The British government has invited the Pope as its guest and he should be treated with respect.

  "To make a mockery of his beliefs and the beliefs of millions of Catholics not just in Britain but across the world is very offensive indeed."

  PZ Myers is sympathetic to the old bastards as expected..

  Oh, "very offensive indeed." Merely joking about asking the Pope to defend himself outrages the Vatican…but we're supposed to overlook the effects his lies about birth control, disease, and the treatment of children have had on the world.

  Stay home, Ratzi, stay home. Hide in your palace surrounded by your sleazy sycophants, and stuff up your ears when others dare to point out that you are an evil old man running a corrupt establishment.

  Lets hope the pope and his cronies take PZ's advice decide to stay out of the UK this summer.

  Lets hope that Dawkins and Hitchens can make good on their plan for having him arrested.

  Good luck with that one. The Pope travels with the Swiss Guard, and not all of them wear funny uniforms and carry pikes. They won't give him up unless he tells them to.

  I had to when some Bishop on TV (not a sex act of some kind in case you're wondering) was going on about how offended they all were.

  How do you know? They travel in plain clothes. Oldest troop unit in the world, since 1506.

  he may be an invited guest by 'government' but i doubt theres that many here that give a smit whether he's offended or not.
