maybe the vatican will fly to Jerusalem where we can follow the footsteps of CHRIST...I wonder if that ever would happen? or maybe Mary will appear for all to see her as the ever so holy virgin,then the catholic faithful would fill an airliner in a second.Its quite sad how you all mislead so many good people.Jesus said:let the blind lead the blind.

Why would this airline not travel to Jerusalem? The Vatican and Isreal have enjoyed diplomatic relations since 1993. Add to this Christians have always traveled to the Holy Land. In addition, Isreal has invited Pope Benedict XVI to visit and looks like he will be visiting soon.
Also, if you are going to quote Jesus-- get it right he said "Can a blind person guide a blind person?" Luke 6:39
As for Anti- Catholic statements. Historian Arthur Schlesinger once described anti-Catholicism as the last acceptable prejudice in America. Sadly, it is still true.

A big, giant f--- you for even considering anti-catholisism as the last acceptable prejudice. You can look at the bickering between religions all you want, but all it comes down to is a bunch of people who don't have any clue who's right (and most likely NEVER will. ...But I'm gay--walk a mile in my shoes, and then see what's openly accepted (in terms of prejudicial remarks/thinking) in society. Homophobia and the evils that come from the vast dissemination of misinformation are pervasive, from all sorts of racial, cultural, religious and ethnic backgrounds. Not that it's a comptetion, but just take a moment to think about it.

i think what he was trying to say is that Anti-Catholicism is still socially acceptable. just look at books and movies lately. (the DaVinci code for example) However the bulk of society seems to think that anti-homosexual thoughts/speech/literature/actions is unacceptable.

As a Catholic I feel it is high time to let people worship God how they want and stop all back biting
