Vatican City, Sep 10, 2006 / 22:00 pm
The director of the Press Office of Holy See, Fr. Federico Lombardi, indicated yesterday that the actions of vandals against the birth home of Pope Benedict XVI in Bavaria is “a minor incident” and not a cause of major concern.
“I am not worried and have no idea who is behind these actions,” the priest explained.
Sunday morning an unknown group threw three balloons filled with blue paint at the house where the Pope was born, in Marktl am Inn. The Police are investigating the incident, but have no suspects.
Pope Benedict XVI, plans to pass by his old house tomorrow night. The house is in the process of being converted into a museum of the Pope’s life.
