Police try to arrest Ukrainian feminist group Femen activists protesting in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican on Sunday, Jan. 13, 2013. Four Femen activists stripped off in St Peter’s Square in a protest for gay rights just as Pope Benedict XVI was reciting his traditional weekly prayer
.Four women stripped off their tops and bared their breasts in St. Peter’s Square Sunday to protest the Vatican’s opposition to gay marriage.
The women, activists from the Ukrainian feminist group Femen, had painted “In Gay We Trust” and “Shut Up” on their bodies to make their point.

If they wanted to get the attention of the pope, they should have sent little boys.

The pope seemed not to even notice four topless,
atleast the pope acted like nothing happened..
Now if four women get topless it would be hard for a straight man not to look.
Tells us something I think, the pope does not like topless women.

The pope is not gay. He is married to his vocation, as he is one with God.
The pope acted in the way he should have. Why is it wrong if the leader of the Church practices what it preaches?
Does it surprise you that a man may exist who is not lewd or lustful?
Humanity does not know Wisdom as it does not know purity.
Top Vatican officials — including the future Pope Benedict XVI — did not defrock a priest who molested as many as 200 deaf boys, even though several American bishops repeatedly warned them that failure to act on the matter could embarrass the church, according to church files newly unearthed as part of a lawsuit. After eight months, the second in command at the doctrinal office, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, now the Vatican's secretary of state, instructed the Wisconsin bishops to begin a secret canonical trial that could lead to Father Murphy's dismissal.
But Cardinal Bertone halted the process after Father Murphy personally wrote to Cardinal Ratzinger protesting that he should not be put on trial because he had already repented and was in poor health and that the case was beyond the church's own statute of limitations.
"I simply want to live out the time that I have left in the dignity of my priesthood," Father Murphy wrote near the end of his life to Cardinal Ratzinger. "I ask your kind assistance in this matter."

Maybe there is. But it's irrelevant. Clearly this is their choice to protest as they see fit. How effective it is doesn't really matter.
Which brings attention to their cause. Pretty effective if you ask me.
Yeah, natural is pretty scary, huh? God likes it when we shave the hair that he put there. I prefer natural, myself.
