Catholic church IS paying 9-10 million pounds toward the visit. He was invited by the goverment, not the church, hence making it a state visit. Many Catholics are disgruntled about being asked to dig into their pockets and couch up some cash as well as |I believe, having to pay to get into the venues where he is saying mass.

Why should I, a non Catholic and practicing Agnostic, pay for his visit? If he is visiting Turkey then the Turkish Government and the Catholic Church pay! How are they going to levy ex-pats to pay for this? I think somebody is having a laugh.

Eric, I heard that the pope is planning to visit Turkey but have heard nothing about expats paying for it.
I wouldn't have thought there are enough expats to fund a day out in the Vatican let alone a trip to Turkey.

Hi Mike,
Just responding to Gordons post above, but he has not said where he got this info from.

Slightly off topic, but we have actually had Jehovas Witnesses calling around our area! Anybody else here had them?

If they're going to charge to pay homage to the Pope, perhaps the 'powers that be' should take a look at thier Bibles. I thought somewhere it said that Jesus turned out the profiteers from the church.

Could be wrong however.......
