A note said the next bomb would be 'in your cassock'
Three Catholic churches in the Chilean capital have been bombed just days before Pope Francis begins his tour of the country.
The perpetrators placed incendiary devices in all three churches in Santiago, and in one church left a direct threat to the Pope, saying the next bombs would be “in your cassock”.
Chile’s outgoing president Michelle Bachelet said the events were “very strange, because it is not something that can be identified with one specific group”.
She added: “What I’ve been told is that, for example, [when the Pope visited] Colombia, there were groups there with a little sign [in protest]. In a democracy, people can express themselves as long as they do so in a peaceful and appropriate way.”
Authorities expect some protests over clerical sexual abuse during the Pope’s visit, however this is the first direct threat of violence.
The message in the church was written in Spanish, but with “x”s replacing all letters that signify grammatical gender, a practice typical among activists on the radical left.
The message reads: “We will never submit to the dominion you want to exercise over our bodies, our ideas and actions, because we were born free to chose the path we want to take. Against every monk and nun and against every preacher. Bodies free, impure and wild.”

May the Lord protect the Holy Father and all the good people of Chile.
Do you mean Pope Benedict?
“Do you mean Pope Benedict?”
I’m sure Tax-chick meant the Pope and not the Pope Emeritus. Where have you been the last nearly 5 years?
I read about this earlier. They don’t know who did it. It sounds like Communists but that’s just a guess, perhaps slightly educated guess.
Pinkos.
Dangerous, as always.
My views are known. May the Lord also bless Pope Emeritus Benedict.
When Pope Benedict retired, my pastor reported a conversation with his close friend, our retired Bishop William Curlin. Bishop Curlin said, “I’m so happy for Pope Benedict. People don’t realize how hard it is to be old!” Bishop Curlin, the dear man, died this past Dec. 23.

Now, that I read the story in full, it sounds like it could be those “Femen” type of people, I think that’s the movement where the women go topless. I think at a church in Argentina, people associated with the Femen protests vandalized a church.
