Enggak mungkin lah, gimana mau menjalar ke kerajaan para Paus, emannya jumlah Paus didunia ini ada berapa??? Bahkan paus di Vatican juga hanyalah simbolis tidak punya tentara, tidak bisa berperang, dan tidak punya polisi atau tentara. Vatican itu bukanlah kerajaan, tapi mungkin seperti kerajaan tapi bukan karena kepausan itu bukan seperti pemerintahan yang ada penjara, polisi dan tentaranya. Vatican itu sendiri letaknya didalam negara Italia, hanya terpisah secara administrative saja. Jadi kalo vatican diserang, maka yang turun melawannya adalah tentara Italia, atau pasukan UN. Jadi enggak mungkin ada demo bisa menjalar ke tempat Paus. Demo ini hanya terbatas di-negara2 Islam yang supressive diperintah secara Syariah Islam yang dasarnya tyranical seperti dizaman Abu Bakar, Umar dan Muhammad dulunya. Sebabnya diluar masyarakat Islam semua manusia mengenyam kebebasan yang luas sehingga bisa merasakan betapa indahnya hidup ini. Bahwa kehidupan itu bukanlah untuk menyembah Allah, melainkan untuk saling membahagiakan bukan saling menganiaya sebagai kewajiban membahagiakan Allah. Ny.
