Pope Alert - Scottish Soccer Fans Boo Pope

At a Scottish Cup game this weekend between Hearts and Celtic, Hearts fans booed and jeered the Pope, causing great embarrassment for the Hearts of Midlothian Football Club and Scotland in general. To be fair to the Hearts fans, though, the Pope had just award a penalty shot and sent the Hearts sweeper off for what was a best a touch foul and quite possibly a dive by Paul Lambert.

Quite frankly, I am left questing the wisdom of the SFA for having the ghost of the head of the Catholic Church refereeing such an obviously sectarian match. Just seems like they could have found a more neutral party, like the Patriarch of Moscow or someone....
