Default (Pope) Benedict brand Condoms

So internal UK foreign Office documents from a brainstorming session mentioned what a good idea it would be to launch a Benedict Branded condoms during the Pope's visit.

Ha ha - plenty of pope bashing going on, if only they'd stuck to bashing their own bishops they wouldn't be in this mess.

Interestingly, just been reading a book about the Reformation in England during time of Henry VIII and the accusations, responses etc are all very, very similar to what happened 470 years ago, Papists vs Reformers (though the 'Reformers' are atheists mostly now).

Yes, but there are already conspiracy theories going on, that all those scandals are put forth from a certain religious group, who wants to conquer the world.

I never can get how apparently otherwise sane people enslave themselves to religions (which generally prohibit idolisation) in which the leaders wear the silliest hats imaginable. But I'd be tempted to join this one.
