Sydney has been overrun with zillions of rapidly reproducing Catholics this week, all here on a pilgrimage to see the Pope who arrives this week for World Youth Day aka the Catholic Olympics. The arrival of his eminence is imminent, as Pope Benedict, or Benny as he is known to his closest friends, flies into Australia on Sunday for the week long Catholic knees up. However he will not be seen in public until next Thursday when he holds a massive mass. One can only assume he will be spending these three days getting over jetlag, pottering about the shops around The Rocks, taking surfing lessons and attempting Bridgeclimb like every other tourist in the city. T-shirts sporting the logo "I've been touched by the Pope Down Under" have been spotted, but so far no sign of the must have bathroom accessory of the year - the pope on a rope.
