During today’s general audience at the Vatican, a small but prolonged protest occurred as Pope Francis greeted pilgrims from around the world. Two female activists from the organization PETA interrupted the event, holding placards that read “Bullfighting is a sin” and shouting the same slogan. They also wore t-shirts that said, “Stop blessing bullfighting.”
Despite the disruption, the priest reading excerpts from the Gospel continued without interruption. After a brief period, the activists were escorted away from the Holy See.
