Pope Attacked by a woman

VATICAN CITY — A Vatican spokesman says a woman jumped the barriers in St. Peter's Basilica and knocked down Pope Benedict XVI as he walked down the main aisle to begin Christmas Eve Mass.

The Rev. Ciro Benedettini said the pope quickly got up and was unhurt. Benedict, 82, calmly resumed his walk to the basilica's main altar and began the Mass late Thursday.

Benedettini said the woman who pushed the pope appeared to be mentally unstable and had been arrested by Vatican police. He said she also knocked down Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, who was taken to hospital for a check up.

[toddwills]

I have always disagreed on the Pope's views but to cause harm or to attack the Pope is not the way to go. People must learn to approach their disagreement and frustrations with the Pontif intellectually and reasonably.

to any form of our choosing but is able to be seen in any way it so chooses. Thus also proving firstly that existance like a disc must be made by a cognant and supreme being. Ibso facto.

[MaestroInfernus]

the whole of existance, and agian i pose the same question, now answer logicaly. Can the universe with its semmeingly boundless cohereant and endless details that flow together simply pop ot of thin air? the answer is no. like Man must think and form - create ,as a God does, to that complicated disc of information(video game lets say Ablivion) it is the solid proff we are in fact made in Gods imag, as natural creators and proves also since amn is not ever exactly aike that God cannot be bound

[MaestroInfernus]

because your pursuit of your own souless existance while we with faith must abide to the law of faith because of the Fact that Life has a purpose and the fact that God exists, your people merely beat around the bush and exist only as an aponent in the game of life. Life and the natural order is proff of there being a higher power. would it be logical that a cd wuld appear out of thin air? no i would be a lunitic if i were to say such things so there fore a universaly grander scale you have

@warwickforever That makes me lol. It is a fact that those without morals obviously have no reason to commit to them and are completely arrogant and selfish, convienance is the only reason why there are athisists, those with fave always have morals and those who say they do and dont are obviously Charlotans. An atheist with morals is believable only when it is convienant for that person to. However this is baseless considering you are more prone to destropying everone in existance that disagrees
