THEY'D NEVER BOYCOTT A MUSLIM FOREIGN NATION-STATE LEADER

ONLY THE ANTI-WEST LEFTISTS WOULD DO THIS:

The Vatican is brushing aside threats of a boycott by a number of German lawmakers when Pope Benedict XVI addresses the German parliament next week.

About 100 members of the Left Party and other opposition parties in parliament say they'll boycott the German-born pope's appearance at the Reichstag in Berlin on Thursday, at the start of the four-day trip.

Many of the lawmakers feel the appearance violates the principle of separation of church and state.

NONSENSE: THE LEFT SIMPLY HATES JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY.
