Pope Benedict knocked down by a Woman at Christmas Mass

A woman, apparently deranged, charged at Pope Benedict during the entrance processional at Christmas Eve Mass at St. Peter's Basilica, knocking down the Holy Father and Cardinal Roger Etchegaray. Pope Benedict, apparently uninjured, got up and celebrated the Mass; Cardinal Etchegaray, the 87-year-old vice dean of the College of Cardinals, was taken to an emergency room for a broken leg.

THE woman who knocked over Pope Benedict XVI as he celebrated Christmas Eve Mass at the Vatican was behind a similar attack last year, sources claim.

A woman jumped the barriers in St Peter's Basilica in Rome last night and knocked down Pope Benedict XVI as he walked down the main aisle to begin Christmas Eve Mass.

Footage aired on Italy's RAI state TV showed a woman dressed in a red hooded jumper vaulting the wooden barriers and rushing towards the Pope before being swamped by bodyguards. The 82-year-old pontiff quickly got up and was unhurt, said a Vatican spokesman, the Reverend Ciro Benedettini.

The woman grabbed the pontiff's gold and white vestments as she was tackled by a security guard and both she and the pope then fell to the marble floor.

The commotion occurred as the Pope's procession was making its way toward the main altar and gasps rang out through the faithful in the basilica. Confusion reigned as security guards rushed down the aisle to assist the Pope.

Okay @revnu2, the Catholic Church is NOT satanic. It was the church founded by Jesus Christ† the Almighty God. The sad thing is that thanks to satan, you are not seeing the truth. May the truth be revealed to you.

†Gloria in Excelsis DEO†
