Aussie Anglican Won't Make Nice for Papal Visit

An influential Anglican cleric won’t be welcoming Pope Benedict to Australia with open arms. But the outspoken dean of Sydney, whose brother is the city's archbishop, says he has no trouble with the public funding that's going toward the pontiff's July visit. Phillip Jensen says he won’t be “going to see him or waving a flag,” but neither will he “pray for rain on his parade.”

“There is nothing in modern Roman Catholicism that reduces our need to protest,” Jensen said. “They have not repented of their Reformation errors.” (More religion stories.)
