Femen activists protested in St. Peter’s Square today in Rome.
The topless protesters simulated anal sex with a crucifix.
Police quickly arrested the women and took them away.
The Local reported:
Femen, the women’s rights group known for topless protests, took their act to a new level of provocation on Friday with an explicitly sexually suggestive demonstration in front of the Vatican.
In what they described as a protest over Pope Francis’s upcoming visit to the European Parliament, three members of the group appeared on St Peter’s square wearing only leather mini-skirts and flower garlands in their hair.
Two of them had “Keep it Inside” written on their backs – a slogan apparently related to what followed.
After bending forward, the women dropped down on to all fours, all the time appearing to simulate anal sex with a crucifix.
Police quickly intervened to drag the women away as bemused onlooking tourists snapped the scene with their smartphones.
