Despite calls for Pope Benedict's arrest for "crimes against humanity" over abuse scandals, the Holy Father's planned trip to the U.K. will reportedly still proceed. The campaign to arrest Pope Benedict - "led by British atheists" - appears to be "merely a stunt to get public attention", according to Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi. The spokesman also said, "The Pope's visit is a visit of state, and so it would be very strange if during a state visit the person who is invited to make a state visit is arrested." The trip is scheduled to occur in September.
