The Pope has arrived in the UK...

I found John Paul II very charismatic and outgoing. whereas Pope Benedict XVI is quiet and less engaging..

Do you think that in today's cynical world, we still need a figurehead like the pope ?

No abuse please........................... Just logical comments..

to each his own. this is something for the Roman Catholics, why should others need to poke into their affairs..

it's just like think if a company has no manager/s...

Though, i agree, Pope Benedict is not as jolly and as engaged as Pope John Paul II(+).

You mean to say there should not be any Prime ministers, presidents CEO or any head in charge of organisation?

Some people think they do. Others don't.

I don't...but I am not catholic.

In fact, I believe that the Vatican and most people in it and connected to it are a disgrace.

As many other religious institutions...money machines, with arrogant people at the helm.

IMHO

The church is past it's sell-by date and so is the pope or rather I should say Religion is past it's sell-by date. Not required and not relevant in today's world.
