Pope aide pulls out of trip after UK 'Third World' jibe
BBC News - Pope aide pulls out of trip after UK 'Third World' jibe
There is more at the link
One of the Pope's senior advisers has pulled out of the papal visit to Britain, after 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.
I thought Henry VIII sorted this lot out years ago not sure why they are even allowed to come here any more

SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

How in the world could calling some place a "third world country" not be considered a slight?The Vatican said the cardinal had not intended "any kind of slight", and was referring to the UK's multicultural society.
