In London, supporters of the ordination of women to the Catholic priesthood have booked a poster to appear on ten London bus routes throughout September of this year. The posters will read 'Pope Benedict Ordain Women Now'. According to the Tablet magazine, the group Catholic Women's Ordination (CWO), paid about 10,000 British poiunds for the advertising campaign, planned to coincide with Pope Benedict's visit.
Meanwhile, in Moscow, an advertising campaign featuring Biblical quotations has emerged in the Russian capital city. The signs, featuring red letters on a yellow background, feature mainly Old Testament quotations, such as “Do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal”.
At the junction of Proletarsky Prospekt and Kavkazsky Bulvar, a sign reads, “I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
The Russian Orthodox Church has denied knowledge of the signs. The advertising agency involved says the billboards were paid for by a private individual.
