Topless Feminist Activist Grabs Baby Jesus Statue in St Peter's Square
Australian Broadcasting Corporation ^ | 12/25/14

Posted on 12/26/2014 7:07:58 AM PST by marshmallow

Feminist protest group Femen have staged a demonstration in St Peter's Square after the Pope's Christmas address, grabbing a statue of a newly-born Jesus from the square's nativity scene.

Leader of the Femen movement, Inna Shevchenko, grabbed the statue with the words "God Is Woman" daubed in large letters on her chest.

Ms Shevchenko was immediately detained by a Vatican guard who covered her with his cape before she was escorted to a local police station.

The guard also wrestled the Jesus figurine away from her.

Although the incident occurred well after Pope Francis delivered his Christmas message from the balcony of St Peter's Basilica, thousands of pilgrims were still in the famous square.

Femen has staged similar stunts at the Vatican, including a protest last month over an imminent visit by the pope to the European Parliament.

The three Femen members were wearing only leather mini-skirts and flower garlands in their hair.

One had the slogan "Pope is not a politician" emblazoned across her chest.

The Pope is not a politician, he is a head of state.

The woman is a lunatic. She needs a lobotomy and put to work sweeping the streets. Only then will she be a productive member of society. The chick has got some serious issues.

Oh my...look at her. From the shape of her facial features, the style of her hair, and her body-type, she could be an amazingly BEAUTIFUL young woman. BUT there is a demonic presence in that face that transcends photography, and makes her look like a gargoyle!

(((((SHUDDER))))))

A Hollywood Special Effects guy would pay a king’s ransom to be able to create an effect like that.

Only this is for real.

It’s the sort of expression I have seen in a couple of movies. One was about Harpies, and the other was about vampire vixens. In total, not the picture of a pleasant face. Certainly disturbed, for sure.

I think this group should stage a similar protest at Mecca.

So much hatred in her face and eyes. Distorts her possibly attractive features into pure ugliness.

He’s used to dealing with idiots. He’s amused by her ridiculous seriousness.
