Like this man or not, he must be protected (or told he's not wanted and should stay home).

Let Vatican pay for the trip. Over the centuries they have stole trillions of dollars in todays money alot of it from jews and how many objects belonging to jews are still in the vaults at Vatican? To them $10 million is pocket change. Like any other tourist let the pope pay his own way or not come at all. At $10 million the country won't be making any profits out of this trip it will be nothing more than spending tax payer money to allow the pope to come see the sights, have some pictures taken and probably make a few speeches that sound like they could have been written by Barak Hussain. Stay at home giving mass and let us use our money to help developent of our country.

I went to the gents, I saw horrible things ! ( You may Guess) Man and Man thing ! I took awalk I saw many poor people ! Very sad. Idols everywhere, brings poverty ! And these Pope and his gang of bishops and cardinals live fancy. Their front line priest act like executives of teh church. My catholic friends say they are never found in the churches other than, their mass, I think they call is pastoral care, never there available for the needs of their flocks.They carry a name , SHEPPARDS . But then they are vulturers who THEFT from the poor. The Catholics sre not like we I know those days, Now they have become like business organisation. Beside the horrors of my early childhood in Catholic Schools, everyting was good. I remembers some dedicated clergies, but now they are all dying one by one, some return to France, Jermany. Now, it is no longer the same story ! Yu know Jews in Singapore and Malaysia use to have a Great REspect for the Catholic Instituitions ! mOney scandal takes rampage ,the Singapore Govt prosecuted Joachim Kang and now the Reputation of Charitable Organisation just went down the drain.Neverthe less we Jews in Singapore will not forget the good things the Catholics did for the society. We will keep giving our support. You see although a Jew myself, I still have some comapassion with the Catholics, because I studied in a catholic school. I know the catholic religion well but I cannot live my Orthodox Judaism where I feel full and complete. I have many catholic friends who talk about their Mr. J, but I tell them, mr J was jew ans a sa Jew I know what he taught but NOW DAYS, if Mr. J was around he would REBUKE them! This is EXACTLY this POPE Benedict 16 DOING, nothing consistant at all ! Pope John Paul and Mother Theresa of Culcatta are Exceptional. The Jesuits Society , are the only one who have not changed to date.The lassale brother gone, they use to run schools. The Convent Infant J, no longer found in Singapore. We Jews are no better, all trying hard to project RIGHTEOUSNESS ! I blame myself too : -) Just Forgive and Forget, just move on the past we are in. Let the Catholics take their path. We jews take our ancient path.They have many Gods, we only have ONE G-D - Singular G-d. That is how I have been seeing it to be all my life despite the scud missals of Catholic teachings in my early education. Strange I didnot convert into catholic religion :-) It was all the 13 Attributes , Shabbat, Imma, Baba, Rabbis, my brothers at the Synagogue, and my Lion Rabbis. that kept me form being assimilated. They call me a stiff Neck even today : -))) he hee ehee. I call them brothers, because that is how we call them in schools. Brothers John, brother Director, Brother joseph, brother Terrence, Brother Patrick, Brother Jude, Brother rogers, Brother Nicholes, All wonderfull clergies, - Irish, Jermans, Scots, Philipinos.... We were the best school, best sports, best choir, best debaters, best swimmers. best in all, St Pauls, St Joseph, St Xaviers, Catholic High School, Nma eit we were the best , now the catholic schools lost their heritage. We Jews are Thank ful an we will keep supporting these schools:) Ver happy and Very Sad ! : -( Soory today I am a little sentimental :) Just as I write this, I recall all the nice things and also the worst things. Being labled a JOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo :-) all those years1 Pian and Rejection but also hard Talmudic. he hee he : -) cheers ben golan- singapore

Israel should cancel this visit. Among other concerns, Israel should not allow itself to be flooded by the spirit and forces of Paganism, and distract Israel from external threats to its existence. It is part of the distraction tactic of the dark forces to distract Israel from focusing its eyes on the greatest threat to Israel and humanity, that is, the Ayatollahs' nukes.

What's he going there for anyway - let him and his fish hat stay home. What possible benefit would he be in a holy place? Thanks, Lenny

...and he is refusing to visit the Yad Vashem museum. Because he doesn't want to be bothered with the shameful past of the catholic church. What a wonderful person. What I am wondering about: Why the heck does the pope need security at all? I thought he is "gods deputy on earth". In that case I would expect a little trust in divine protection...

Or maybe the question should be, "what is the Vatican demanding?" Knowing them I would guess they are interested in expanding their line of "paid attractions." You have to know that these fraudsters lure their sheep in and then shear them at their various cash points. They are still after the phony "Upper Room" no doubt.

Israel and it's ministers, like the public, do not seem very enthused about this visit- why not just be honest and say NO? The 'improvement of relations with the Christian public' is not a priority- so why be an unorganized and unprepared grumpy host?- just cancel the whole thing, tell the Vatican you can't do it...- of course, it should have been done months ago....

please dont come to israel

PROPHESY COMING TRUE..ROMANS WILL CONQUER JEWS AGAIN FIRST THE ARABS THEN THE XTIANS OVER ISRAEL THEN MASHIAH AND THEY BOTH DISSAPPEAR. AND THE RIGHTOUS OF THE JEWS AND other nations will merit the next world. rightous other nations=no idils no jeus and no mohamed rightous of jews=no reform conservative or distorted modernizations

Why allow this guy into Israel? He is a former Nazi, and the leader of a religion that was always against the Jews.

...it isn't pagan. And I don't care a heck of a lot for the Pope, to put it mildly..

It looks more like a phallic symbol

If you know the theology and teachings of Papism, you will see that it is Pagan. They even changed GOD's Ten Commandments pertaining to idols and the Sabbath. While on a visit to Pagan country Benin in the 1990s, the late Pope John Paul told the crowd that "Roman Catholics accept the mixture of Voodoo worship with Christianity." (Reported in CNN). This is not surprising because Papism is Paganism.
