Topless Femen Activists Hail Pope's Resignation, played a funeral march, Shout 'No More Homophobe' In Notre Dame.
France sextremists played a funeral march by ringing bells of the citadel of Catholicism Notre Dame de Paris for the Pope.The group of topless activists scandalized visitors at Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral on Tuesday by disrobing in public to celebrate Pope Benedict XVI's resignation.
The small group of women, all affiliated with radical feminist group FEMEN, flashed their breasts and banged on bells in the cathedral, shouting slogans such as, "Bye Bye Benedict" and "No more homophobe," according to the Agence France-Presse.
The pope announced his resignation Monday in a shocking pronouncement that took the Catholic community by surprise. However, FEMEN appears to have little to no love for the outgoing pontiff, whom the group blasted on its website for his stance on same-sex marriage.
According to the site, the "French Femen sextremists" were playing a "funeral march" for the pope. The staff of the museum decided to switch off the light to obstruct the work of journalists.
