Pope's state visit criticised in luminaries' letter

More than 50 public figures have added their names to a letter in the Guardian newspaper saying the Pope should not be given the "honour" of a UK state visit.

"The government said it recognised the Pope as a head of state and the visit would build "positive relations"."

If this is just a political event I wonder why the BBC, (governments mouthpiece) is flogging it to death on the news and between programmes??

The nation doesn't usually make such a fuss over "Political" leaders coming to the UK!!

Westminster Confession of Faith...
25/6. There is no other Head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ:[a] nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense be head thereof; but is that Antichrist, that man of sin and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the Church against Christ, and all that is called God.[b]

* a. Eph 1:22; Col 1:18.
â€¢ b. Mat 23:8-10; 2 Thes 2:3-4, 8-9; Rev 13:6.
