Dawkins trying to arrest Pope Benedict Xvi

So?

It's moot anyway, as the Home Office could intervene and grant immunity even if it isn't automatic.

Why would they grant immunity? they would have a very hard time justifying such a move, It would be political suicide (and probably death by lynch mob). I bet brown is glad he wont have to deal with this one! :eek:

So you would air your dirty laundry in public at every given opportunity?:confused: Are you for real?

I align my thoughts with Von on this point:

"Don't get me wrong in that I find the Church's cover ups of child abuse quite sickening. The very organisation that should protect innocence has been active in covering up seemingly endemic abuse and it is an utter disgrace.

There should be a thorough investigation by an authority that is independent from the church and all of those responsible brought to book but that independent authority should not be Dawkins.

As for Pope Benedict, if he has been involved in cover ups then shame on him but even if he is responsible for them it is highly unlikely he will face any charges due to his position as head of over a billion Catholics and his technicality as a head of state. Such is the fickle irony of politics."

People who want to have him arrested because he is merely guilty of hiding the fact that several of the church "may" be Paedophiles are just as deluded as the two cranks Dawkins and Hitchens.

The fact that they are doing this for publicity rather than any moral crusade only highlights what self serving prats they really are.

The authority is not Dawkins, its the court/justice system - did you miss that part?:p
 
fair play to them, the church is the most bent organisation out there, both the catholics and the christians have all had their fingers in the pie, whether the pie be kiddie fiddling or cash cowing the congregation.
I say burn the churches/mosques down, modern life has no place for religion

I think it's more to do with the mass cover up of criminal activity which he (and others, including Cardinal Law) was institutionally involved in. Cardinal Law, in fact was one of the first to leave his home town/city of Boston when the atmosphere became a little too hot, and is now being sheltered by the Vatican. There's plenty of pain, plenty of corruption, and plenty of evil that can be laid right at the feet of this man, before you even get started on the criminal activity.
 
The Catholic church has always looked after the catholic church first. Hardly any different from our various governments looking after themselves first.

Why would they grant immunity?

Because there is no way that ANY visiting dignitary would visit any country on a state visit without his diplomatic passport

Oh give me a break (again). I'm sorry, but I don't see the deliberate cover up of criminal activity, especially on the scale we've seen, to be a matter you can refer to with the word 'merely'. I'm trying to be as unbiased as possible here, hence me leaving out the fact that the criminal activity is child rape, in my opinion, the most heinous, despicable and disgraceful crime one could commit.

I also take objection to your cynical assumption regarding Hitchens' and Dawkins' motivations for doing this. You're quite obviously basing your wild opinions of them on nothing more than fabricated opinions and bias, and I would strongly advise you actually take a deeper look into their beliefs as you never know, they may offer you something in return.

PS If you'd like me to go into more detail regarding the legal obligation for the Pope to be prosecuted, then just say the word.
