A Man In A Witches Hat

The pope is visiting Great Britain this week. Should I be happy? Should I be falling over myself to touch his hem like tone deaf idiots did with The Beatles in the 1960's? No I should (and will) not. The man has so much evil under his collar that its a wonder he is not crippled. Not him personally of course but the Catholic church as a whole.
I find the whole organised religion thing quite sour, and where there are organisations like these there will always be trouble. What shocks (frightens too) me more is that these papal visits draw crowds in by the hundreds, if not thousands. Granted they have pockets of protestors but there are more yelling as if a successful rock band has just hit town.
Funny thing human beings. A species that, while technologically advanced from apes and hippopotamusses, are really very backward in most other ways.
