So let's get this straight...

It's okay for the NSW police to confiscate photographs of naked children by one of Australia's leading artists (even though there were no legal grounds for them to do so )

but it's not okay for victims to protest against an organisation that not only covers up child abuse by its members, but relocates them to fresher fields.

You know, this Catholic god can't be so omniscient and omnipotent if it needs our laws changed to protect its flock..

Roll on the Catamite Auditions

Yes and thoroughly outrageous the amount the taxpayer is footing for this bill. By rights, we should have to turn around and fund any and all visits by religious leaders and that's plain out ridiculous. In fact, if you extend it, this could also include secular belief 'leaders' like Hitchens and Dawkins.

But I guess they get round this by pointing out that the Pope is also head of state of Vatican City.

Considering the vast wealth that the Holy See controls, you'd think they could have funded this out of their back pocket and not noticed.

Also they are bringing a dead saint with them. I wonder what the Quarantine Service will have to say about that.
