'Indignados' Occupy the Vatican at St. Peter's Square
Monday, January 16, 2012
Aiming to set up a protest camp similar to the Occupy encampment outside St Paul's in London, up to 50 protesters arrived in the colonnaded piazza in front of St Peter's basilica carrying placards calling on the Catholic church to PAY MORE TAXES, a reference to tax breaks handed to the Vatican by the Italian government. You would be astonished to learn that the Italian Government gives the Vatican more than 6 billion euros per year (equivalent to approx 7.4 billion USD), you can see the exact breakdown in the document made available by the UAAR, Francesco Zanardi, The Protect Your Children Foundation and Vatican Crimes Exposed at: http://www.jh.to/contributions
One of the group of protesters, who were mainly French and Spanish, arrived in a pope's outfit bearing the slogan "indignant heart", a reference to the Spanish Indignados protest movement.
Police moved in when one of the protesters scaled the large Christmas tree standing in the square. Two of the group and one officer were injured in the subsequent scuffle as police in riot gear cleared the demonstrators from the square. Three of the group were detained for identification.
Father Federico Lombardi, a Vatican spokesman, said the Holy See had no doubts about removing the demonstrators before they set up home in St Peter's
-- well of course! The Vatican does not want people to find out more evidence of the crimes they have committed and covered up worldwide, but it is TOO LATE! The world is realizing that the Vatican has been amassing astronomical profits while claiming "vouch for poverty" to deceive, claiming "bankruptcy" to avoid paying out money to victims.
