Pope survives attack by woman

The attack on Pope Benedict has shocked the Catholic world but the 82-year-old pontiff is unhurt.
He was entering Saint Peters Basilica in Rome to give Christmas Eve Mass, when a young woman leapt a barrier and threw herself at him. Although she was unarmed, the incident called the Vaticans security arrangements seriously into question.

The pontiff was knocked to the ground but he got up and went on with the service. Susanna Maiolo was taken away for psychiatric assessment. The Church said the 25-year-old Italian-Swiss woman also tried to reach the pope last Christmas. In both cases she wore a red sweatshirt.

@amaqula lol this sht belief u call Catholicism is a perversion of Gods word. This pope u hold so high is leading you down the path of destruction u fool. This woman is closer to God than this false holy man.
