PARIS (AFP) – 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.”
