Mugabe at pope's funeral

[dolgoruky]

Just wondering what you christian folks who love the pope think of his organization's decision to invite a dictator to his funeral?

1. I don't believe he was invited

He came despite travel restrictions imposed by the EU.

2. Wow!

Oh right! He just walked in without a ticket. Dream on!

3. Go build another strawman

Harare - President Robert Mugabe defied a European Union travel ban and flew out of the country unannounced to join world leaders attending Pope John Paul II's funeral in Rome, state radio announced on Thursday.

The trip was immediately denounced by one of Mugabe's fiercest human rights critics, Roman Catholic Archbishop Pius Ncube of Bulawayo.
