Suffer the Little Children, Also Gays and Women

by Abby Zimet









As many as 20,000 angry protesters greeted the Pope in London - a crowd so large and so angry it surprised organizers and observers alike. Here's a slideshow of signs that reflect a new, often darkly hilarious rage at the church, its cover-ups of child abuse and its unwaveringly reactionary stands on social issues.

4. Yes, it certainly does...
But, I think the first sign does beg the question, which dates back to Pope John Paul's assasination attempt. Why would the infallible leader of the Holy Catholic Church need such protection rather than rely on God... I can remember considering that paradox when I was very young...:shrug:
