The Catholic women’s bus campaign
In a move designed to coincide with the pope’s visit to Britain in September, London buses are to carry posters calling for the ordination of women.
The initiative, from the UK group Catholic Women’s Ordination (CWO), will see buses carrying the slogan “Pope Benedict Ordain Women Now”.
According to the weekly Catholic magazine the Tablet, CWO has paid about £10,000 for the posters to appear on 10 buses for a month from August 30.
The pope will be in the UK from September 16, spending two days in the capital, and the posters will appear on routes that go past Westminster Cathedral and Westminster Hall. Both venues feature on the papal itinerary.

Thank goodness that some Roman Catholics have minds of their own and some common sense, good luck to these people, even though I dont share their religious beliefs.
Not in this Pope’s lifetime. I’m afraid that, in their latest decree, the Catholic Church put women’s ordination, together with child abuse, as one of the gravest crimes in ecclesiastic law.
