"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."

→ Crazy! What the hell? When I first heard of this story and seen the news #video I was in shock. This was such a tragic event to occur on Christmas Eve, even more it was a vile story for the news to have to report on #Christmas! (..and I'm not even Catholic..) However, I am one to question why the Pope doesn't have a better security detail; he is the Pope..Get with it Vatican, get the...

→ The news are reporting that this woman, is apparently bat shit crazy; however, being a loon doesn't excuse her sickening ploy for "attention". I do hope that she gets locked up in a mentally insane asylum and the treatment that she needs for her disease (this story hits home, doesn't it #Renee; seriously who was the first person you thought of..) She doesn't need to be out on the streets, she needs to be locked away; in a padded cell!

→ While I do not understand this or know what she was "attempting to do" at the time of this encounter; I do not think his fall was the single result of her but of the lack of security and the failure of what he had. Clearly, she does grab him but at the same time the security was pulling her away; of course a fall would be the result of the poor security and her actions both. She...

→ ...Alas, Pope or no Pope; no 82-year-old should be subjected to this treatment nor kept up past an 82-year-old's bed time -- What where they thinking, Poor Pope. I do hope that he really is okay, I hope that he at least was seen by a doctor to check his health. Freakish!

→ Frizz indeed #Renee, what I honest find laughable is that "she" believes that this loon attacked the Pope because of her prophecy.. Well, number one no one in this world (not a single person) other then dippy doo thinks that 616 is the devils mark; instead of the 666 that is stated many times in the Bible. However, perhaps I will obtain my Christmas and News Years wish. "There coming...

→ ..I do think that someone needs to teach #BSCW the legal system. That being the fact that when you make threats or expose your dislike for someone who is a leader (such as the Pope, President, Queen, or even a police officer) in such a way that is deemed mentally unstable or threatening, it is recorded.. If their IS an attack made on the person that you are threatening or exposing...

→ ..Come on #BSCW why do you honestly think you were being tracked by someone (on your website) from the Vatican (or near there). After your mentally unstable dig to the poor Pope. You're on the "watch list" and it just occurred to me that this is the reason! -- I'll be watching the news on this story closely and waiting for them to say anything that may be lead to you.. Then I'll give the police a tip but honestly I don't think they need my help!
