The Protest the Pope debate at Conway Hall exceeded all expectations with a capacity crowd and sent a clear message to the Pope. "We are not going to take it anymore".
News item on Protest the Pope debate (Sept. 1st) in London.
First Protest the Pope event (a debate on the Papal visit at Conway Hall) sent a clear message to the Catholic apologists involved. The UK will not tolerate hate cults and does not easily forgive child abuse. The massive crowd exceeded all expectations and was in no mood to hear feeble excuses and hypocritical rhetoric.
A Catholic spokesman said: -
"The sobering fact is that Protest the Pope have whipped up and created an anti-Catholic mob which they plan to set loose on Pope Benedict and Catholics attending the papal events. The police are going to have their hands full protecting us."
No. It is your crimes not Protest the Pope which is responsible for the anger. You made your bed now lie in it.
