Anti-pope Protest

Some folk with nothing better to do on a Thursday have decided to track up Festival Square and hassle his Popeyness.

UPDATE: Let me be clear: I have no positive feelings towards the Pope or Catholicism (being a lapsed Catholic myself), but I just thought it was amusing that only 80 or so people could muster the strength to drag themselves out protest. I guess it is a midweek work day after all :)

Once the pope came, it was a hell of a lot busier.

@Spashby but not busy with more protesters. This was about it, everyone else there were either passers by or people coming to see the Pope.

@neuro these people have nothing better to do?

the pope has given refuge to many serial pedophiles. the least people can do is protest that this criminal-ring isnt being brought to justice.

Why dont you let your kids get raped by 'gods messengers' before you start insulting these peaceful protesters who obviously have more morality than the priests that have sodomised many children.

sort your head out

@J4YM5 You seem to be under the impression that I'm not aware of what this Pope has done to damage the Church's reputation, or that I'm for the Catholic Church in any way.
