Heidenspass instead of Höllenqual

From August 15 to 21, the entire city of Cologne will be focused on the Catholic World Youth Day. The whole of Cologne? No, an unyielding group of religion-critical Cologne groups and individuals wants to resist Pope Benedict XVI and his disciples. Under the motto "Heidenspass instead of Höllenqual," the "Heidenspass-Komitee Köln" aims to create a critical counter-public to the Catholic mammoth event. No money is coming from the Vatican for the World Youth Day, but this event will cost German taxpayers about 15 million euros, regardless of whether they belong to the church or not. Daily protest parties, lectures, film screenings, concerts, and much more will take place. The complete program can be found on the homepage http://www.religionsfreie-zone.de.
