News, Church wants Susan Boyle to sing for the pope. (Catholic, Roman)

[JD59]

THE Roman Catholic Church in Scotland wants Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle to perform for Pope Benedict XVI during his visit to Britain later this year.

Boyle, who was catapulted to global stardom after appearing on a British TV talent show, would be a "great asset" to events planned for Benedict's trip in September, said a spokesman for the Church in Scotland.

Oh, that's neat! I'm a huge Susan Boyle fan. I hope things work out for her.

If I were Susan, I'd decline the request. The Catholic church is a hotbed of controversy right now. Why should she entangle herself with that? I think she has a marvelous voice.

I don't think it would be good for her reputation,esp.considering all the controversy with this latest pope.I hope she declines the request as well.She can do much better!
