No one wants him

Atheists in Portugal don’t want the Pope to visit the country, at least for the time being:

“The Portuguese Atheist Association (AAP) has this week asked the Portuguese Bishops’ Conference to postpone next month’s visit by Pope Benedict XVI to permit “full clarification” of his involvement in alleged cover-ups of widespread child sex abuse by Catholic priests.

The AAP told Portugal’s Catholic leadership the Pope’s May 11-14 visit should be postponed indefinitely due to the Pontiff’s purported involvement in a cover-up to protect priests who abused minors in various countries.”

Perhaps they should threaten to arrest him while they are at it.
