I think you've hit the nail on the head. Whilst I have little time for the Pope he is a head of state however because some people are rabidly anti-religion they don't want any of their taxes going towards the visit.

There is another side to this however. From something I heard on the radio a few weeks ago, some people seem to be against us funding his visit due to the Vatican's apparent lack of action against priests and bishops suspected of sexual abuse.
