In a statement, the collective said on its Italian-language website: "Anonymous decided today to besiege your site in response to the doctrine, to the liturgies, to the absurd and anachronistic concepts that your for-profit organisation spreads around the world.

"This attack is not against the Christian religion or the faithful around the world but against the corrupt Roman Apostolic Church."

It also accused the Vatican of being "retrograde" in its interfering in Italian domestic affairs "daily".

Anonymous tried and failed to attack the Vatican website last year.

It has taken credit for a number of high-profile hacking actions against companies and institutions, including the CIA.

Five alleged computer hackers in Britain, Ireland and the United States were charged on Tuesday in high-profile cyber-attacks after a leader of the group became an FBI informant.

The charges against alleged members of Anonymous, Lulz Security and other international hacking groups were unveiled in indictments unsealed by the US District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The indictments cover some of the most notorious hacking incidents of the past several years including those against Sony Pictures Entertainment, private intelligence firm Stratfor and computer security firm HBGary.
