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.

My personal view on this is that he is a leader and religion should take no part in the decision on funding. I can see why some would be upset of the allegations of abuse and i think they have not gone far enough to deal with it but those allegations should be dealt with separately to his visit.
You know me and religion but in this case i do believe it has NO bearing on a state visit and its just another reason for some to stick the knife in.
I have no problem with some of my taxes going to fund this visit.
