How many people could have been fed with the $34,000,000.00 it's costing for the pope to visit the UK?

I will never understand why the Catholics think it is so important for their churches to be full of gold... Is it to attract children?

I'm gonna say 1 Michael Moore and 1 Charlie Weis.

How many people could be fed with the grain that is used to feed beef cattle?

All of them.

This, the church scandals, and all the other nonsense in the different Abrahamic faiths are precisely what we should expect when "saving" a supposed eternal soul becomes more important than what happens in this temporary life.

Alot more than they could have if he'd stayed at the vatican.I hear they eat high on the hog over there.

And the protestors are only making it worse creating an atmosphere where even more security is necessary. People can be so stupid.

Catholic folk also pay taxes, run hospitals, schools. and perform all works of mercy.

It is a feebleness of mind that equated Charity with mere Money

approximately 34 million, if we took them to McDonalds and they ordered from the 99 cent value menu

We don't use dollars over here.
