The Central London Humanists in partnership with the British Humanist Association and the South Place Ethical Society (SPES) are staging a debate on the core arguments of the Protest the Pope Campaign.

The motion for the debate will be:
“The Papal Visit should not be a State Visit“.

REASONS WHY IT SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDE: -

Benedict XVI swore an oath to 'God' to fight for Hitler until death when he joined Hitler Youth.
Benedict XVI has promoted homophobia and hatred against homosexuals.
Benedict XVI has supported Holocaust deniers like Bishop Richardson.
Benedict XVI has protected Priests and Nuns involved in the Rwanda genocide.
Benedict XVI has returned pro Nazi Bishops to the Vatican.
Benedict XVI has covered up and protected in every way possible hundreds of Bishops, Priest and Nuns accused of child rape, molestation and abuse.
Benedict XVI has petitioned Chile to release members of the fascist death squads now in prison there.
Benedict XVI has opposed birth control in the Third World.
The Vatican bank funded for the arms used against the UK in the Falklands war.
The Vatican bank defrauded investors of 1.2 billion dollars (P2 scandal).

The case for the visit will be well represented by Catholic spokespeople.
