One of the Pope's senior advisers has pulled out of the papal visit to Britain, after reportedly saying the UK is a "Third World country" marked by "a new and aggressive atheism".

Cardinal Walter Kasper, 77, made the remarks in a German magazine interview.
The Vatican said the cardinal had not intended "any kind of slight", and was referring to the UK's multicultural society.

Aggressive atheism my arse. Anybody would think atheists were marching past places of worship, throwing stones, lobbying government to ban religion, and so on.
What utter bilge these people speak.
(whoops, how "aggresive" of me)
