Tatchell: The Pope is intolerant

Peter Tatchell, human rights campaigner, comments to politics.co.uk on the Pope’s visit:

“Most British people don’t share the Pope’s intolerant views. Even many Catholics reject his teaching.

“The visit highlights the Pope’s failings over the child abuse scandal.

The Pope’s attitude made him “an accomplice to sex crime against children”.

“Such a person does not deserve the honour of a state visit… [because he] has never, ever apologised for his own failings”.
