LONDON POPE PARTY

Highlights, News, What's on by Simon McD on February 10, 2010 at 10:49 am

Hey dudes – there’s a party in town, and you’re invited. This Sunday, Valentines Day, outside the Houses of Parliament, London. The theme: to stop the Vatican’s crusade against women and gay rights. Dress: bonanza.

Bullet points:

Supporting:
· Women’s equality and reproductive rights
· Equal rights for LGBT people
· A secular Europe – immune to the Vatican’s agenda
· One law for all, no religious exemptions from the law
· State neutrality in matters of religion and belief

Against:
· European Union collusion with religion (Lisbon Treaty Article 16c)
· The special status of the Vatican in the United Nations
· State-funded faith schools
· The economic privilege and political influence of the Vatican in Italy
· Taxpayers funding the Pope’s State Visit to the UK this September
· Misogyny, homophobia, fascism, racism and xenophobia
