SEX workers are bracing themselves for a rush of business next month - when thousands of devoted Catholic pilgrims flock to Sydney to see the Pope.

From July 15-20, over 200,000 pilgrims will descend on the Australian city for a six-day celebration of the Catholic faith for World Youth Day.

For the record, at least in the Congregation of believers in the Philippines [see this link], brothels will surely have no business to make.

the brothels won't be busy...but thechildren's playground might be. lock up yer sons and daughters cause the catholic clergy is in town. The priests will be especially amorous after being around all those kids an not being able to touch them.
