Woman Knocks Down Pope At Christmas Mass
Alex Watts, Sky News Online A woman has been arrested after jumping over barriers and knocking down the Pope at Christmas Eve Mass.
Pope Benedict
Pope Benedict XVI was attacked as he walked down the main aisle to begin the service at St Peter's Basilica at the Vatican.
Vatican spokesman Ciro Benedettini said the 82-year-old quickly got to his feet and was unhurt.
Benedict calmly resumed his walk to the Basilica's main altar and then began the Mass.

Some woman did.
I only made a dietary suggestion.
(Objection noted)
Just were is Nanct Pelosi?
They are the “Swiss Guards”.
Nancy Pelosi shook down the Pope today looking for new things to tax....
Dude that one crashed and burned on arrival. Not funny in the least. This is a wake up call to beef up his security...because if this woman had a gun or knife the world would have seen a Pope murdered.
That’s a different incident from the past.
True.
I didn’t think people got that close. Arms length to kiss ring.
Cool. I hope she’s getting her ass kicked and some security is getting reamed a new one as we speak.
As noted on thread - this world is messed up.

Must be the Christmas spirit.
The Salahi’s were in Rome?
“Benedettini said it was not immediately known if the same woman was behind Thursday’s incident.”

If it is the same woman, the Italian newspapers will have a field day on the security.
Anyone who would attack an elderly person needs some Singapore justice.
I did Midnight Mass at the Vatican in 1992. Our tour guide told us (there were about 25 of us) to hold hands and run across St Peter’s Square on into St Peter’s so we could get good seats! St Peter’s Square is huge, several NFL football fields across and deep. It was a mad dash getting in. We were like a flying phalanx! No one stopped us. We could’ve each had AK-47’s under our coats.
This story made me cringe. I hope security is better than what I encountered. God bless the Pope!
Since it’s clear you have been drinking, why not take a little nap.
Spoke too soon. Look up a couple from yours.
Nope; she was sent by that guy, JR, who runs that anti-Catholic website. ;)
No more eggnog for Mr. Gunner.
