I wonder what the penalty for this is in Vatican City. Hopefully at least 5 years.

The Vatican is its own state and government. Perhaps she could be turned over to the Inquisition?

It is difficult to frighten a Pope, or to convince a Pope of the need for security. A Pope places his fate directly in God’s care. If it is God’s will, it will be done.

But you're right, he wasn't even touched by her........

My apology for the previous post. After watching in full screen, it does indeed look like a burka wearing woman........or it might just be a black scarf that many older Italian and Polish women still wear.......I don't know.

That’s not the incident. See video in post #96.

“Time to rethink his security..”

I recall that security in the papal state was arranged in medieval times with the Swiss providing the guard detail to the Pope. Might have been a sop to the French after moving the seat from Avignon back to Rome.

Thank God the pope is a manly-man. He will not this deter him from being close to the people.

The Rev. Ciro Benedettini said the 82-year-old pope quickly got up and was unhurt.

Muslims consider Christmas an abomination along with everything else.

“Its Christmas, can’t they give hate a rest for just this one day?”

Oh, no. Christmas drives them more nuts than anything.

I’m so glad he’s okay! This could have been so much worse.

I’m not Catholic, but there’s no sense to this sort of thing. Where were his bodyguards/security??

Prayers going up for his safety, and for the woman-the report says she is ‘mentally unstable’—Cindy Sheehan? Code Pinko type??
