Psychics? You must be joking, those frauds simply exploit people's grief to promote their own nonsense, and are worse than useless. And as for 'feeling' she is still alive, more nonsense, you have no way of knowing and your 'feelings' about it are totally irrelevant.

And then of course, prayer. Does 'God' really need to be asked? Will prayer change its mind and have it thinking 'hmm, yes, I'll let them find Madeleine now that they've asked the pope to pray for her'. It might make them (and the assorted grief-junkies out there) feel better, but it will have no practical effect on the outcome. The only things that will have any result one way or the other are the police investigations or someone getting lucky and spotting the kidnapped girl somewhere.

I can't fault the parents on this, they are doing all they can to keep their daughter's plight in the public eye, as any parent would.

I admire the courage of Madeline's parents. I have also been praying for her & I hope she is found soon. What is EUROPOL (European Police Agency) doing if anything? or other organisations in Europe?

I thought a reporter from the Sunday Mirror had the case sussed. What need is there for Divine (or Psychic)Intervention when the British Press (if you count The Mirror in that definition) are onto things.

A friend of mine,who is a psychic,gave me valuable information regarding MADELEINE's hidden place .I rang CRIMESTOPPERS to pass the information and their answer was that they did not take any details coming from PSYCHICS and hung up on me!

MONICA, ESSEX,

I would also like to encourage the McCanns to talk to and visit other religious leaders from all faiths to ensure the message is clear that abducting children is morally, ethically and religiously wrong. It is only through the help and watchfullness of all peoples from all countries, not just those with a strong Roman Catholic belief, that this little girl will be returned to her parents. I hope and pray that those involved in this awful case have the strength and resources to investigate all sightings and all avenues to facilitate the return of Madeleine, safely, to her parents and young brother and sister.
Good luck and my thoughts are with you, Madeleine.

Stephen, Amstelveen,

I hope the McCans dont read any of the insensitive and heartless emails. last night I spoke to a friend who suppied nannies to Mark Warner apparently the guests could not ask a nanny to babysit ,the night creche was the only option. Trying to settle 3 under 3 aged children then wake them later is not ideal and many parents on previous holidays have done exactly the same as the McCanns reassured by the security of the resort and the nannies would walk around checking for any sounds from the children.The love the Portugese and Spanish show for children is in such contrast to the UK that this could also be a factor in lowering their guard. Forgive them, their consequences now are quite horrific enough without self righteous cruelty.

Harnad, the McCanns are Roman Catholics. It's quite natural they should desire an audience with the highest representative of their faith for guidance and for media attention for Madeleine. I wouldn't begrudge them any Hollywood deal or private jet with what they're going through. Steve, it's easy to focus on the Catholic Priests who have been paedophiles and not on the genuine many devout Catholics. I think the McCann's have been tremendously strong with their faith. I agree with Traci, that they should involve a reputable psychic who has experience in this sort of case and profilers if they haven't already. I hope that the audience with the Pope gives them more strenth to continue the battle to bring Madeleine home.

Am I the only one who sees the irony in them going to visit the man previously in charge of covering up the Catholic church's paedophiles?

Mark Smith, London, UK

i don''t no if this is gonna help madeleine back home because now i read about that the police give a wrong description of a suspect what are they doing outhere in portugal don't they want to find that little girl because evrything they do is wrong i begin to think that she isn't alive anymore because all of the publicity around it if it's true and he took her on a boat then think again what wood you do he can never go outside whit madeleine because evrybody nows her i hope that i got it wrong because there's nothing in the world that i won't then madeleine's being found i am a mother of a four year old girl this is the wurst nightmare that can happen to a parent

Diana, Helmond, Holland

Just to wish the McCann's all the best.
The more support the better!

Carl Wells, Derby, England

I admire the courage of Madeline's parents in their search for their beautiful daughter. I have been praying also & I hope she is found soon. What are organisations like EUROPOL (European police organisation) doing in the meantime? Have the spanish police conducted any kind of search?

Kevin Gunning, Luxembourg, Luxembourg

Hope she's found safe and well.. However the cynic in me wonders about use of private jets, audience with the pope etc.. I wonder if they've already signed a hollywood deal...

Hamad , Thornton Heath, England

I find it ironic that the chances are their daughter has been kidnapped by a paedophile, and yet they're going to the Catholic church for guidance. The same Catholic church who covered up evidence of systematic child abuse by their own priests for years.

Steve Lee, Gillingham, England

Are there psychics involved at all? I don't know how the McCanns feel about this option - I'm not a particularly religious person myself, but I have such a strong feeling that Madeleine is still alive. If it were my daughter I'd want to try every possible option... and open my mind to all possibilities. I wish the family all my hopes, feelings and humanity and wish so much that their daughter comes home safely and life for all the family returns to normal as soon as possible. For all the sick people in the world let there remain many more who are good.

Traci Rochester, Bristol, England

I believe this is a good move when times are hard we should always turn to prayer. I have been praying for their family and I am waiting for further news on Madeleine.
