MARKTL-AM-INN, Germany, April 13 (UPI) -- Pope Benedict XVI's childhood home in Germany was vandalized Tuesday with graffiti that was quickly painted over, police said.
Police in the southern German town of Marktl-am-Inn didn't release the exact words of the graffiti but said it referred to the current sex-abuse scandal plaguing the Roman Catholic Church, The Washington Times reported.
"The wall over the entrance door of the Pope birth house had insulting contents written in blue," said a Bavarian police report, which the Times translated with the help of a computer program. "The writer obviously used a lacquer spray can to write 30 centimeter letters."
Police estimated the vandalism caused about $2,000 worth of damage. No suspects have been identified.
the Germans are as stupid now as they were in the 1930’s....let’s paint graffiti on the Pope’s boyhood home.....yep, that will get our point across....We’ll show him......pathetic
How thoughtful!
