    Default Pope knocked down during Christmas Mass

    A link:
    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34588269...s-world_faith/
    ... and another:
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8430118.stm

    Not a particularly serious incident it turns out, but not a pleasant one either. Kind of puts a damper on the occasion, I guess.

    What is this now, it's becoming the fashion in Italy to publicly assault public figures. And I thought Pope had better security after what has happened with Mehmet Ali Agha and his shooting of Pope John Paul II.

    it is a well known catholic custom that the believers kiss the end of the bishop's vestments. One can suppose the woman being not quite well wanted to do it not taking in mind the guards' reaction. It's not necessary to be such a fuss, and an assault it certainly is not. Plus the pope fell because of the guards' reaction, not directly from the woman grabbing his dress. It's all nothing.

    What happens in Iraq, stays in Italy.

    Well, that was really weird. I don't even know how to respond. It's just a case of total non-sequitur. But hey, I'm glad it's not a Muslim.

    Very sad to see an old person attacked like this, he's not just a man in a dress - he's old!

    I fail to see anything funny in it...

    An old man vs an woman. Let's see. Even at 80 one must be absolute jerk to be "harmed" by an unarmed woman. Pathetic. Moreover so surrounded by 20 guards 1,5 meters away each in all directions. Really pathetic.
