The Italian branch of the Anonymous collective has taken down the official website of the Vatican again, this time to protest against the sex abuse cases involving Roman Catholic priests.
“Forgive us if we’re not too friendly with you, but we are literally disgusted by the Catholic Church’s conspiracy of silence over paedophilia cases, sometimes really objectionable,” reads a statement published on Pastebin
The collective also denounced an alleged abuse that occurred to a friend of one of the members. “She was raped at 13 years old by a priest, the same one that baptized her,” reads the statement.
“We know that the Vatican tends to hide the abuses without reporting them to the police. They care more about their members than of their faithful,” adds the statement.
