PAPAL VISIT

During the recent Ad Limina Visit, the Holy Father announced his forthcoming trip to the UK, possibly sometime in September 2010. Sadly there is already opposition headed by the Secular Society of Great Britain to this visit. The Secular Society have an online petition which has already attracted over 20,000 signatures and yet a petition supporting the visit only has 6,700 signatures. If you feel that we should welcome the Holy Father to our country, please visit this website and sign the petition.
