Topless feminists target 'political' Pope
The Local (Italy) ^ | November 14, 2014

Posted on 11/16/2014 9:52:31 AM PST by Zakeet

Femen, the women's rights group known for topless protests, took their act to a new level of provocation on Friday with an explicitly sexually suggestive demonstration in front of the Vatican.

In what they described as a protest over Pope Francis's upcoming visit to the European Parliament, three members of the group appeared on St Peter's square wearing only leather mini-skirts and flower garlands in their hair.

Two of them had "Keep it Inside" written on their backs - a slogan apparently related to what followed.

After bending forward, the women dropped down on to all fours, all the time appearing to simulate anal sex with a crucifix.

Police quickly intervened to drag the women away as bemused onlooking tourists snapped the scene with their smartphones.

It was not immediately clear if the activists would face any criminal charges.

This vulgar act of blasphemous depravity was done to convince the world that the Pope is evil because he does not support homosexual rights, baby killing, and because he is going to speak for peace at the European Parliament!

Love the look on the face of the dude in the cap, holding a shopping bag.

you know what... in general I am all for women taking their tops off.. but even though I am not a Catholic.. this kind of action in such a place deserves a severe immediate response. I would have loved that man with the bag to be beating the girls over the head with it!

Faith cannot adapt to culture
It must call it to convert

Communist are such a bunch of attention whores. They are always looking for some goofy reason to take off their clothes.

Nothing says “I have a legitimate grievance” like shoving a cross up your own butt.

We used to lock these people up and treat them.

We also used to publicly shame them, and sometimes beat the evil outta them.

Europe is obviously devoid of any moral standards or Christian these days. I remember hearing German churches were turned into bars and the like.

Both have the same bottom line characteristic, being evil and against good. So they just might find some way to get along against their mutual enemy.

I guess maybe this Pope deserves more respect.
Then again, maybe not. Discussing world peace with the EU sounds a lot like moving forward towards world government.
We will see. At least these goofballs are more transparent than any discussions at the EU.

I wonder if this will help the USCCB recognize that any appeasement is a problem
