Subject: RE: BS: Pope John Paul Belfast Wall Murals
Maybe now many of you will understand previous postings from myself, Ard, Curator and others. The out and out loyalists in the 6 counties have to be the most ignorant and bigoted people on earth, read about the children going to school in Ardoyne e.g. (I do not mean all protestants - only the die hard loyalists).

I know of cases where a loyalists would not let a new catholic insurance agent inside his door, but he left it up to his wife to tell the catholic not to step inside. I know this for a fact because I was the insurance agent working in Belfast for an English company (Royal Liver) this was in 1966 before the troubles even started, these people are consumed with anti-catholic hatred 24 hours a day 7 days a week and 52 weeks of the year.

Also (Guest) - The difference between the Pope and Paisley is that the Pope is a clergyman, properly educated and trained having moved through the ranks from priest, bishop, cardinal etc.on a platform of peace and reconciliation. Paisley on the other hand received his degree via a correspondence course from somewhere in te U.S.A. His whole life and career has been built on bogotry and hatred. Thats a big difference. I sincerely hope you are not comparing these two individuals.
