Quotes 

• Piers Cuthbertson-Smyth : [interviewing the Spice Girls on the Telly]  But you DO like boys, don't you, Geri?

  Ginger Spice : C'mon.

  [facetiously] 

  Ginger Spice : Is the Pope a Catholic?

  Piers Cuthbertson-Smyth : Apparently he is, yes.

  Male Reporter : [later, on the News, on the Telly]  Church leaders have reacted with shock to reports that the Spice Girls have cast doubt on the religious convictions of the Pope. A Vatican spokesman said the pontiff was hurt and confused by the suggestion that he might not be Catholic. We asked the Bishop of Candleford what he thought.

  Bishop : It's a terrible suggestion! Almost blasphemous! OF COURSE the Pope's a Catholic, otherwise he wouldn't have been invited to become Pope, would he? I'd like to know what evidence the Spice Girls have to support these allegations! I really would!
