He is right where he belongs.

The role of Pope continues to be a statist tool, nothing more.

Apparently the Pope wants to talk to Congress and Congress wants to have him. What did you want to discuss?

I think the US Congress, like all politicians, should listen to others more often, so I am all for it (even though I probably disagree with some of what the Pope will say).

Curious that a highly regarded democratic body should wish to listen to a non elected religious dictator peddling fairy stories.

Probably how people should have less children and give more of their tax money to help the poor.

That'd be my guess.

Like the Anglicans are any better.

Don't you have a virgin baby to rape to cure the syphilis you got buggering your shipmates, Brit?

And who elected your Queen - who is the head of your state religion?

I agree with you about the anglicans, and the monarchy is an excellent source of foreign income! But with regard to your other statement, what is going on in your mind? For the record the monarchy has no political power .

The myth of the Virgin Cure has a rich and culturally diverse history stretching back to 16th century Europe, and more prominently to be found in 19th century Victorian England, where, in spite of the emphasis on morality, rectitude and family values, there existed a widespread belief, that sexual intercourse with a virgin was a cure for syphilis, gonnorhea, [and other STD's]. Syphilis, like HIV/Aids, was fatal in its terminal stages. In the Eastern Cape of South Africa, when a significant outbreak of STD's was spread by troops returning home from overseas after WWII, the Virgin Cure was widely sought among the population.
