According to local media Corriere della Sera, a man peed on the altar after lowering his pants to his ankles at the Altar of Confession at St. Peter's Cathedral around 9 a.m. on the 11th (local time).
The altar is a sacred place where the pope holds a Mass himself, and the tourists at the scene were shocked, and the police immediately stopped the man and pulled him out of the scene. According to videos taken by some tourists, the man put his pants back up as the police approached, but his lower body was exposed in the process.
The Mass was in progress at the time, and it was not confirmed whether the Pope was in person.
Pope Leo XIV was shocked when he received the news"It was said.
The Vatican spokesman's office has not made an official statement so far. It is not yet known whether the man was arrested or whether he is being investigated on any charges.
According to foreign media such as the New York Post, St. Peter's Basilica is the center of Roman Catholicism and one of the most sacred places in the world, where previous popes have held mass ceremonies. However, due to its symbolism and popularity, altars are often subject to terrorism. In February, a man climbed an altar and knocked over six candlesticks, and in June 2023, a Polish man jumped naked on the altar and exposed the phrase "Save Ukrainian Children". At that time, the Vatican held an altar clean-up ceremony.
