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.

I don’t think this video is what happened today. They said he was knocked down and got back up. This woman didn’t get close to him. They said it was NOT on film, but this is.
Seeing as the Holy Father was unharmed, I'd say a little levity is called for and as such, I must also agree. That would make a great screensaver!
Sound like there were 2 incidents?
I’m sorry, I just realized that my last post was intended towards dragnet, not you. Still learning.....sorry.
Security falling down on the job.
I’m very glad Papa is fine.
This is one Christian that isn’t shy about taking out an idiot.
I don’t have to surrender my core beliefs to anyone.
To surrender to evil, is to advance evil. It’s an immoral act.
This is a far cry from someone slapping you, or simply inconveniencing you. They could have killed the Pope.
Christians have every right to defend themselves.
Amen
A fine Christmas to you, sir!
May God bless and protect the Holy Father.
ROP female?
prayers for the Pope’s security
There are many with sick dark hearts who a fixated with destroying Christ’s Church. We see a few of them on this forum. They are often just useful idiots for the evil one, but sometimes he owns them. Most times their method of attacking the Church is written or verbal. The hatred they spread will undoubtedly lead to physical violence such as this because Satan consumes their hearts until there is no room for His love anymore.
To do our best to protect the Pope, the woman needs to come and work in the Obama administration.
Swiss Guards
This is terrible...
Thank God he is alright...
God bless him and protect him...
By the simple headline I was hoping this was just an accident, and not malice. Wrong again.
Video of today’s incident. The camera was not on the Pope, so you do not see the actual attack, but you do see the reaction of the guards and the audience. The procession was halted for a few seconds. Then applause when the Pope recovers and continues toward the altar...

I agree 100% and will defend myself and others.
And the Pope said... Get thee behind me satan!
The Pope does have multiple bodyguards at all times in public. No idea how that happened.
Good for you.
