[QUOTE]As 115 cardinals deliberated over who should be the next pope, topless protesters stormed St.Peter's Square.Shouting "Pope no more!", they let off red smoke before being wrestled to the floor by police and dragged away. The activists, from pro-feminist group Femen, are no stranges to topless demonstrations.

What are they protesting exactly?
[QUOTE=Phaselancer;39898906]What are they protesting exactly?[/QUOTE] If I were to guess, it is the female inequality in the catholic church.

They should know that naked women has no effect on Catholic priests. Naked boys would be a different story.

Hopefully Vatican City doesn't bestow some ridiculous charges against them.

[QUOTE=Phaselancer;39898906]What are they protesting exactly?[/QUOTE]Afaik it's a combination of the continuous kiddie fiddling scandal; the Catholic Church's role, perceived or actual, in warfare throughout history; and their official stance on issues like women priests, contraception and the like.
Isn't this like the second time a bunch of topless protesters have gotten roughed up by angered catholics?

Shit like this is what makes me dislike Femen.
Eh, I'm all for protesting against inequality in catholic tradition, but femen's way of doing it is too loud and dumb.
-snip- I forgot that I should never post in a thread about feminists of any regard for my own safety.
What are the Vatican's policies on free speech? While I think this is not how you should try to spread your message, I think they should still be able to do it. All everyone is focusing on is that they are topless rather than what they were actually protesting. On an unrelated note her something about her eyebrows seems off.
[QUOTE=McNab;39899405]-snip- I forgot that I should never post in a thread about feminists of any regard for my own safety.[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's pretty scary to voice your opinion in threads like these.
In all seriousness, I don't know what the catholic church has against women in the hierarchy. I just want to see a black female lesbian pope

Well that just seems pointless. Also is it me or are the cops wearing sweatpants?

[QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;39899567]The Patrick doesn't do anything for you?[/QUOTE] Nah it says they have a spongebob fan club at the bottom of the sign.
[QUOTE=lifehole;39899437]Yeah, it's pretty scary to voice your opinion in threads like these.[/QUOTE] I fear for my safety when I post in these threads. As for Femen well you know they always pull this kinda stunt. They need to do something with more shock value to get more attention.
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;39899574]Femen may be radical in their execution but not their ideas[/QUOTE] Thats why though.
[QUOTE=lifehole;39899437]Yeah, it's pretty scary to voice your opinion in threads like these.[/QUOTE] mostly because of the fabulous moderators of facepunch lurking around.
[QUOTE=Bruhmis;39899733]mostly because of the fabulous moderators of facepunch lurking around.[/QUOTE] Not really, just for fear of starting an argument. That doesn't really factor into it until the argument heats up.
Oh man. That guy under the umbrellas face.
