The list of protesters who have staged demonstrations in the Vatican, even managing to interrupt papal ceremonies to highlight various causes, has grown: this afternoon, during the Pope's mass at the Basilica of St. Paul, two girls shouted slogans to denounce the cruelty of bullfights to the world, and to save the bulls destined to be mercilessly skewered by bullfighters. Along the central nave, during the traditional rite of the conversion of St. Paul and the day dedicated to ecumenism, the girls' cries immediately drew the attention of the faithful and the cameras. The English phrase: Stop blessing corridas, stop blessing bullfights, was emblazoned on the white t-shirts they were wearing. Naturally, the gendarmes immediately intervened and, as always, took the protesters to a small room to be identified.

In the past, the Femen had also made headlines when they managed to evade surveillance to undress during a mass. They were immediately covered with a cloak and taken to the gendarmerie. Recently, a Ukrainian boy completely undressed and climbed naked onto the central altar of St. Peter's to protest against the war and the cruelties of the Russians. The Vatican had to authorize a special rite for the reconsecration of the altar in the following days, as it had been desecrated.
At the Vatican Museums, two boys glued their hands to the Laocoön to protest against the governments' inertia in the face of the tragedy of climate change. After a trial, they were initially sentenced to compensate the Museums with 23 thousand euros, which was the calculated damage caused to the marble base of the statue.
