A Roman Catholic man suffering from a rare form of bowel cancer has welcomed the Pope’s visit to the UK insisting that the £10-12m cost of staging the lavish event is undoubtedly money well spent and that the British tax payer will ‘eventually see sense and unite as one to welcome the Pontiff on his tour of Britain’.
Despite savage funding cuts to the NHS that virtually guarantee life saving surgery will now be denied him, the man said that just catching sight of the Pope for a split second through the massed crowds and waving to him from behind the high security fences was everything he could have wished for, even though the extra effort involved in waiting for the entourage to pass by was condemning him to almost certain death at the age of just 52
‘I’m here to praise the Lord and thank him for watching over us’ said the cancer riddled man
The Pope, who at no stage of the tour will be expected to go without food or spend any time in a barbarous death camp surrounded by barbed wire fences or be condemned to sleep in a wooden hut that smells of gas and fear has angered some sections of the community with his claims of a growing atheism amongst British people.
He warned that by turning their back on God the people of Great Britain risked ‘losing their grip on reality and missing out on everything that is important about deep held religious belief. Like private jets, red loafers, Serengeti sunglasses, a Cartier watch and the chance for an elderly man to wear long white flowing robes, lots of jewellery and not be called ‘towelhead or nonce’.
When asked if he thought the dying man’s determination to see him despite having only days to live was an example to the rest of the UK the Pope replied ‘yeah whatever, do you know if his cheque has cleared yet’.
Amen to that
