This interests me..."Papal aides believe the Governmentâs choice of non-Catholic staff typifies the âlack of respectâ being shown towards the first ever state visit by a Pontiff"
So... HMG has to assign catholics to the papal visit team to show sufficient respect to Benedict. That is frankly outrageous. The overblown sense of entitlement really is breathtaking.
I wonder if the Israelis or Jordanians put catholic only staff on the case when The Pope visited their countries? Clearly, a visit to Saudi Arabia is out of the question.
Three cheers to Anjoum Noorani. Get him on the after-dinner speaking circuit
