Pope Benedict XVI‘s announcement that he was stepping down must
have shocked Catholics across the globe, but a group of rebel women activists outraged
visitors even more at Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral by undressing in public to
celebrate the Pope’s resignation.
The small group of topless women activists, affiliated with
radical feminist group FEMEN, flashed their breasts and banged on bells in the
cathedral, shouting slogans such as, "Bye Bye Benedict" and "No
more homophobe," according to a report appeared in Huffington Post on
Tuesday.
The "French Femen sextremists" were playing a
"funeral march" for the pope, said the report. Another report was cited
as carrying a photo of the women, accompanied by the following description:
FEMEN France noted the final hour of the homophobic Pope. FEMEN is
congratulating the whole progressive world with the resignation of fascist
Benedict XVI from the place of the head of the Catholic mafia. It's symbolic
that today is the day of the voting of law of same-sex marriage in France. The
ex-Pope was a fierce opponent of gay marriages. FEMEN applaud the complete
capitulation of the middle age homophobia! Pope go to the devil! Viva common
sense! Viva freedom!
The women jumped velvet ropes and banged on a set of bronze
bells cast for Notre Dame's 850th anniversary. In order to avoid further
embarrassment, staff turned off the lights and security dragged the women
outside, say reports.
