I would be very interested to know why hasn't the pope visited Ireland and addressed the problems there between " his people," Catholics " and the Protestants, they sure need it there. Yet he is traveling to Muslim contries, and Russia, only to mention a few.

I would " think" it would be more necessary to a land that is suffering over wars between Catholics and Protestants. I'm asking this question very seriously, to my knowledge he has never gone there, has he ?

Two reasons: (1) The IRA is a bunch of Marxists and anarchists who don't take their orders from the Pope, so it wouldn't do any good; and (2) the Protestants would have a cow, so it would do a great deal of harm.
