UK taxpayers to pay for Pope visit

BBC News - Archbishop says UK taxpayer should help fund Pope visit

Pope Benedict XVI will arrive in Scotland on 16 September for first papal visit since Pope John Paul II in 1982.
This trip, which will also include events in London and Birmingham, will be the first ever official state visit to Britain by a serving Pontiff, 'Spiritual leader'
An online poll of 2,005 people, published this week, found 79% had "no personal interest" in the visit.
The survey, by think tank Theos, also found 77% thought taxpayers should not help pay for it.
