As you may/may not be aware, the Pope is visiting the UK for the first time in 28 years on Thursday, and the first for Pope Benedict as Pope. It's obviously a massive occasion, and a lot of money is being spent on making sure his visit is beneficial, safe and well reserved for the public.
Of course, for Roman Catholics, this is a massive and fortunate occasion, and will no doubt be welcomed with open arms.
So, are you glad the Pope is stopping off here? Do you think the benefits of his visit outweigh the cost? Is his route near to you, or do you plan on trying to get a glimpse? Or do you think the reports of child abuse within the Catholic Church will overshadow the occasion?
Oh, and non-UK members can comment as well - don't just feel because The Pope isn't coming to your country that you don't have a view on his presence, the cost involved etc
