If you could have gone to the pope's funeral, would you?

Religious or not, would you have gone if you had the time / money?

Do you have any members who did go (or know someone who went)?

No, and not religious. The time/money would be much better spent skiing, or in Hawaii, or pretty much doing anything else.

No, Christian. I find the emphasis Catholics put on figureheads rather nauseating. Not to say that the pope didn't do good things, but I didn't know him personally.

He defends the Pedophile Micheal Jackson with all his might but condems the Pope every chance he gets.


I'd go just to get the chance to visit Rome and witness all the Pomp and Circumstance of the Funeral.

I'd go and start laughing raucously, just to see what would happen.

(just think it would be interesting to see reactions - this hypothetical situation in my head doesn't just apply to the Pope, just to any funeral of some venerated world leader)

If I had the money, yes, because I always wanted to plan a vaction in Italy anyway. So I'd pay my respects at his funeral, then head off to the other parts of the country.

The reaction you'd receive probably would be the same as if you went to Mecca and wiped out a pulled pork sandwich and started passing it around.

It would be real funny until one of those Swiss guards threw a javelin through your chest.

I don't defend Michael Jackson, I play devil's advocate, i.e., what if he's innocent?!? someone's got to do it, everyone else here seems to think he's guilty.

You know for a fact Michael Jackson is a pedophile?

It is a known fact that the Vatican including the pope was involved in the cover up of child sexual molestation in the USA, Britain, and the rest of the world

Ya ok, it sounds like you have some problems bud. Go seek out professional help, you seem to need it.
