The stamps issued by Isle of Man commemorating the visit of Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to Britian next month (September) have printed the wrong location name due to a recent change in venue for the Papal Mass by the Roman Catholic Authorities.
The initial plans were for the Pope to beatify Cardianl Newman at Coventry Airport but due to the large number of expected visitors to the beatification the venue has been changed to Coventry Airport.
The sheets of stamps published by the Isle of Man with the wrong information had already been sent to dealers worldwide in advance of its issue date and therefore it was too late to recall the stamps back.
The stamps were issued on the 11th August 2 commemorate the beatification of Cardinal Newman and the first papal visit to Britain since May 1982, when Pope John Paul II’s six-day tour drew huge crowds.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown extended a formal invitation to the current Pope and the trip is the first official state visit by a pontiff, as that of John Paul II was on a pastoral basis and did not follow an official invitation by the UK government.
The miniature sheet features two stamps featuring Cardinal Newman and a label image of Pope Benedict XVI

and has the Pope even heard of the Isle of Man, let alone thought of visiting it ?

That's the danger of cut and paste, you only guess what you're putting on here.

Don't understand why you weren't able to take out walks, when the Pope was visiting it was business as normal, even though two of our districts walks are on the edge of Bellahouston and access was reduced for the vans by road closures. Do you not go out if its raining too?.

So he should get on well with one of the Queen's grandsons then.
and would he see it as a mistake if Germany had won the war ?
And if Cardinal Newman is becoming a saint for converting from C of E to catholicism, isn't that just what Tony Bliar did a couple of years ago ?

Is that a warning sign that a catholic priest might be taking a gullible trainee priest away for "Training" in the locality?

Does it remind you of another world leader, of German speaking origin, riding around on tour, in the back of a Mercedes, to joyous cheering followers?

The Queen?

Very droll

Funny how the Catholic church is seen as fair game to all the collective wits (and rightly so) and yet Islam is not, and shall not be made fun of in any context....

Those old liberal's double standards at work again?

That's because the Catholic church will only get slightly upset but some of those crazy muslems will declare a fatwa on you................and even I'm not brave enough for that
