Eight feminists flashed their breasts in the heart of Paris's Notre Dame
cathedral on Tuesday to celebrate Pope Benedict XVI's shock resignation
announcement.
The members of the Femen movement entered the
Gothic cathedral dressed in long coats which they whipped off inside
while ringing three bells near the altar.
"Pope no more!" they cried. "No more homophobe" and "Bye bye Benedict!" Scandalised visitors voiced their disapproval.
"This is a sacred place, you can't strip here," said a Frenchwoman.
The
Femen women's power group has been making headlines since 2010 for
topless feminist, pro-democracy and anti-corruption protests in Russia, Ukraine and London.
The
protestors were dragged out of the cathedral by security but remained
outside for some time shouting "In gay we trust" and "Get out
homophobe."
