JURY POLL
Woman jumps barriers and knocks down pope at Christmas Eve Mass. Pope unhurt
DATE: Dec 24, 01:42 PM
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VATICAN CITY – A Vatican spokesman says a woman jumped the barriers in St. Peter’s Basilica and knocked down Pope Benedict XVI as he walked down the main aisle to begin Christmas Eve Mass.
The Rev. Ciro Benedettini said the pope quickly got up and was unhurt. Benedict, 82, calmly resumed his walk to the basilica’s main altar and began the Mass late Thursday.
Benedettini said the woman who pushed the pope appeared to be mentally unstable and had been arrested by Vatican police. He said she also knocked down Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, who was taken to hospital for a check up.
