Re: Popes visit
A friend of mine is going up to Glasgow to see him.
To be honest, I can't really see the point. I'm also a lapsed Catholic, but I really can't see the attraction in it all. My mum once had an audience with the Pope, and she didn't seem too impressed, so I can't imagine seeing him from a distance as he passes by will be anything special.

Quite a nice thought when you consider what we're all doing

Re: Popes visit
I had Catholic mates as a kid and i've always been aware of The Pope.I remember Pope Pius the 100 dying in 1958. If i was a Catholic i think i would try to see him at least once in my lifetime something like i suppose Muslims travelling to Mecca.
