Man Tries To Jump Into Pope's Vehicle

VATICAN CITY, VATICAN (BosNewsLife)-- A man was held Wednesday, June 6, by Vatican police after he tried to jump into Benedict XVI's Popemobile during the general audience held in St Peter's Square at the Vatican.

The man was wrestled to the ground by security officers, who have been on edge ever since May 13, 1981 when the previous pontiff, John Paul II, was shot and critically wounded by a Turkish gunman as he entered the same to address the faithful.

Saw a video this morning, and the Holy Father did not seem to even notice this - as it occurred behind him. Security was on this guy quickly...More news later on this, I hope. And in the meantime, let us keep Pope Benedict in our prayers.
