Shocking Video Shows Man Urinating On Sacred Altar At St Peter's Basilica During Mass

Man makes a mess during mass by urinating on the Altar of Confession at St Peter's Basilica. Pope is reportedly pissed.

In an absolutely shocking incident, a man appeared to urinate on the Altar of Confession at St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City on Friday (October 10) in front of hundreds of worshippers and tourists, Fox News reported. The video of the bizarre incident, which happened during a 9:00 am Holy Mass, went viral on social media platforms, with some users calling it "disgusting" and "disgraceful".

As per the report, the man climbed the altar steps, dropped his pants, and urinated on the sacred site. The Vatican gendarmes intervened immediately and took him away. However, it's not certain whether he was arrested or charged.

As per Il Tempo's reports, the man, whose identity hasn't been revealed, "was promptly reached by plainclothes police officers present in the basilica" and was escorted out of the church.

Italian news outlets mentioned that Pope Francis was informed and "shocked to learn of the news". However, the Vatican officials haven't issued a statement so far.

This is not the first time such an incident has happened. As per the Catholic News Agency, a man desecrated the altar by climbing on top of it and throwing six candelabras that were on the altar to the ground in February.

At that time, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said in a statement to ANSA: "This is an episode of a person with a serious mental disability who has been detained by the Vatican Police and then placed at the disposal of the Italian authorities."

In another incident in June 2023, a Polish man approached the high altar undressed and climbed onto the altar, with the words "Save children of Ukraine" written on his back. The incident had happened when the basilica was about to close.

Witnesses claim that Vatican officials rushed towards him shouting "Problemi di urina!", which translates to "Urine Trouble!".

Maybe the man did have mental health issues. Or maybe he was an altar boy in a Catholic church when he was young and wanted to express his views about the church.

One way or another, the video of him pissing all over the altar will surely be one of the most popular streaming videos this year.

Ironic, such shock and anger over a man urinating on the alter but never shock and anger about the child abuse going on forever.

uncensored.
too bad he didn't defecate.
Remember Bishop Alois Hudal, Franz Justus Rarkowski, Ludwig Müller, Raymond John Lahey, Priest Fr Edward Gallagher,

Msgr. Carlo Alberto Capella, a former Vatican diplomat who was convicted of distributing and possessing child pornography, continues to work at the Vatican Secretariat of State as one of several clerks.

, Priest Timothy Murray, Priest William Vatterott etc. etc.

Amen to that. (I did vaguely refer to this in the post).

No shit.

That would have prompted a "Clean up, Altar 3" call over the tannoy.

If they would just put up some cheerful Christmas lights, with a defective extension cord, they could cut that shit right out! If something occurs, they can tell everyone that Clark W. Griswold did the electrical arrangements. Hope they don't forget a moving Snoopy in the display!

All bow to the invisible nothingness called God.

Fuck, read the book Creating Christ and learn how Christian religion was created by the Romans.

His Eminence was only shocked to see the act out of context: that's step 3 of choirboy tryouts, followed of course by the 'singing swallow' challenge and full-contact jesus juice sleepover.
