And shouldn't they still do something in private? That not only being the proper thing to do, but being found out later on only defeats the purpose of
keeping it quiet?

Please help me here , Because I am having a real hard time trying to understand this .

What almighty power does the Pope have that he can offer comfort to the parents ?

So when you need comfort you should seek the pope becasue he can make it seem better ? He can't solve anything but he can make it feel better .

I live in a world were the water is wet and the sky is blue and where parents look after thier children .

Please don't go on about Catholic / christian or any other beliefs , These are beliefs you will chase these your whole life and you will die none the wiser .

2 things in life are certain - You will be born and you will die

But isn't the contraversay in the middle the fun part !!!

I mean they tried praying at the local levels (local churces) which didnt work.

Then they tried visiting Fatima (a little higher up on the Religious scale)

Now they are visiting the Pope.

Now if the Big Fella isnt going to listen to the Pope then he isnt going to listen to anyone .......

If it was a court, then visiting the Pope is like visiting the High Court. There are no appeals process left after that.

So if she doesnt appear, maybe they can abandon the whole religious train theyve been riding for nearly a month, and actually get round to looking for her the good old fashioned way.

From todays Telegraph.

"The Simple Minds song Don’t You Forget About Me may be re-released in the campaign to find Madeleine, it emerged last night. The 1985 hit has been used on a video appeal and has proved an internet phenomenon. A McCann family spokesman said a new video appeal would feature the Bryan Adams hit Everything I do, I Do It For You."

Perhaps they should spend less time wondering what 'cool' new song they can play against a backdrop of Maddie next week and more time doorknocking and trying to find Maddie.

Having done a little research on this condition, my fears for poor Madeleine's safety are confirmed, rather than allayed.
If she has been kidnapped/abducted, her captor(s) will soon realise that she is "less than perfect", if she does indeed display other symptoms sometimes associated with this syndrome.
If she had let herself out of the appartment and wandered off in search of her parents, it is quite possible that she could have fallen into a ditch/been run over.
(We have not been told whether she has impaired vision, as a result of her condition, but I did notice on the news this morning the video of her tripping up at the foot of the steps to the plane.)
For those people who think her parents are directly implicated, the possibility of Madeleine having additional health complications might have a direct bearing on this dreadful case.
I am sure that every possible scenario is being investigated

I hear here and there "Borat" and "Borat". Why people like him so much and believe all nonsense he says? Is it normal for Western European Democracies to lie and to say untruth to their citizens? As far as I know; Borat is British? Why didn't he film a comedy about Britain? May be British wouldn’t love Borat so much, when hearing untruth about them?!

I can understand them needing prayers but God helps those who help themselves. I hate judging people but truly believe that an appeal directly to the child snatcher would be more constructive. Am sure the Pope prays daily for all suffering little children & a visit wouldn't grant them anything "extra" but perhaps some "feelgood". Am not so naieve as so expect the abductor to return Maddie on the appeal but at least they may get some kind of info. OR am i getting desperate myself? Poor little Maddie.

Not many years ago when they were doing poorly, no one spoke out to help them. Now they are profiting, people want to tear them apart. People's memories are often convenient.

Why does it seem alot of people are focusing their attention to things like "global warming" when we have much bigger issues that can be focused on? For example, Darfur, Uganda, world hunger, the poverty around the world? It just seems like people don't want to focus on things that are actually happening, while children have to walk from village to village every day trying to escape people (uganda). Any thoughts?

That the McCanns atitude that they did not trust strangers (referring to babysitters and other child supervision) has led to the abduction of their daughter? Meaning if they had trusted the Portuguese their daughter would still be with them?

It's my belief the only way to rid those nations of extremism and to get the locals to help us against the enemies of freedom(yeah I said it! Islamists are without a doubt antifreedom!) Look at Iran and the Taliban! We need to help those people in order to help ourselves and our security.I admit there are selfish reasons behind my intentions but everybody on this planet is looking out for their best interest and sometimes those interests overlap or need to compliment one another.Sometimes you can't have your pie without sharing a slice of it withsomebdy else!

I took an intro to Biology course, during which we learned about evolution. One example of proof of modern-day evolution my instructor gave is the breeding of dogs, during which specific traits are able to evolve and change over the course of time and create unique breeds. I was surprised my instructor (and our text) used this as an example, because wouldn't a creationist be able to say that this example also proved their argument since this type of evolution only took place under the guidance of intelligent design (in this case humans)?

They are on the other side of the world. Why on earth are they considered a threat? If we made peace with them and maintained a friendly relationship wouldn't it benefit us? Yea I know that Iraq is what some people will say, but in response if open lines of communications were made with Iran (which is shia) then that would surely produce a more positive outcome for the US in Iraq. Can also say the nuclear thing, but doesn't Israel have an arsenal of nuclear weapons. Well now on Israel, Iran supposedly said to wipe Israel off the map, but why does that concern America? Isn't Israel’s army the 5th strongest in the world? Can’t they stand up for themselves? Why lose more American men? Who is the real threat to the survival of the human race; Iran (with no nuclear weapons) or other nations in that region with an entire arsenal of un-inspected nuclear and chemical weapons? What do you guys think and how do you think as citizens we can improve relations with Iran and other nations?
