A leaked memo from the UK’s Foreign Office has offered helpful ideas as to how the Pope’s upcoming visit to the UK could be made more popular. The ideas include suggesting that the Pope could:
- Launch a range of Benedit-branded condoms
- Visit an abortion clinic
- Bless a gay marriage
Cue the tedious ‘this is just terrible’ apologies from all concerned. I, however, think that this is excellent. Good for whoever wrote this and will be out of a job by early next week. How people can possible think that the Pope can take offense to this is beyond me. At best he is guilty of turning a blind eye to confirmed pedophilia, at worst he is culpable for facilitating more pedophilia.

I like the bit where the FO responded by announcing that the offender ‘has been transferred to another parish’
