LMAO. A peaceful hate protest to defend the condom and extramarital homosexual sex from an absolute monarch grounded on his statements from 1990s. :-D How more stupid leftists can get? What's strange nobody ever protests to let Jews eat pork, or to let Muslims drink alcohol. Maybe it's because Catholics are nowhere as prone to kick back as the other two. If Muslim youth was meeting would they give away free vodka, because their unnecessary strict religion forbids it? An oppressive govt will always find "legitimate reasons" to cut citizen rights. No WYD held in Europe required any of these drastic measures. You really should blame your govt. I would. “The NSW NoToPope Coalition will peacefully protest on (…) at (…).”

If they can reasonably state why they believe so, I have no problem with that. The last thing I want to hinder is freedom of speech. It's the people who just yell "why is this on planet xxx???", and nothing more, whom I object to. It's happened to me, and I've seen it in a load of other places too. Chuck,

I suggest that you take a look at the political systems of the Vatican. To quote <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_City#Head_of_state" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a>: "The papacy is a non-hereditary, elective monarchy, chosen by the College of Cardinals. The Pope is also technically an absolute monarch, meaning he has total legislative, executive and judicial power over Vatican City. He is the only absolute monarch in Europe. The Pope is elected for a life term in conclave by cardinals under the age of 80." Go back and re-read, and you should see that my 'absolute monarch' comment was much more a jab at the NSW Government than at the Vatican. As for security, have you actually seen the laws passed here? Speaking generically about 'security' doesn't help this discussion. Nobody is saying that a major world leader doesn't deserve security. And for condoms... where did I ever defend/condemn condoms in the article? I'm not going to debate your pointless argument, as it has nothing to do with what I wrote about. So please have some clue about what you're talking about before you scream 'FUD'. Dorian,

Who pissed in your cereal, mate? Honestly I don't know where to start to poke holes in your argument. First the Pope is not an absolute monarch. You don't have to listen to him, if you don't want to. Second, as for security... nobody wants to deal with the fallout of a possible assassination attempt of head of state, and their enough crazy people out there that would try. And last time I checked condoms were to stop sperm, not viruses that are a thousandth the size of a human sperm cell. So dear sir, do us the favour and stop spreading FUD. Wow. Who pissed in your cereal, mate?

The people are fine. The problem is the leadership. It's the same as the US. As a people, I think we're just fine, but our president is an idiot. @Aitor de la Morena:

Clergy has their right to "intrude" into civil matters, because they are citizens too. I agree that there is right to protest, and that Sridhar has suggested a civil way, but I had to defend my point of view, because I'm very sensible to prejudices ;) Oh, and you can call me Aitor!

We'd need the likes of you here in Italy, where we have to deal with the likes of those who organized the protection measures every day. Without mentioning the constant intrusion of clergy into civil matters ... quite as severe as it is in US, sadly. To Senor de la Morena: here there is no prejudice stated, only annoyance at the over-the-top security measures adopted for the event. And suggestions to protest against those in a civil, but still firm and effective way. Sir, you are a veritable genius.
