Noted atheists Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens are planning to ambush and arrest Pope Benedict XVI during his state visit to Britain in September.
The Times Online reported:
Richard Dawkins, the atheist campaigner, is planning a legal ambush to have the Pope arrested during his state visit to Britain “for crimes against humanity”.
Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, the atheist author, have asked human rights lawyers to produce a case for charging Pope Benedict XVI over his alleged cover-up of sexual abuse in the Catholic church.
The pair believe they can exploit the same legal principle used to arrest Augusto Pinochet, the late Chilean dictator, when he visited Britain in 1998.
…Benedict will be in Britain between September 16 and 19, visiting London, Glasgow and Coventry, where he will beatify Cardinal John Henry Newman, the 19th-century theologian.
Dawkins sent this special Easter greeting to Catholics last week– “Your Church is Rotten Edifice.”
Christopher Hitchens would be wise to stay away from Dawkins. There’s nothing pleasant about that man at all.
