“It happened in the Vatican, in St. Peter’s, Friday morning, October 18th. A young man, perhaps German, is armed with a knife. Security men surround him, unarmed. They try to calm him, the Basilica is open and full of tourists and groups that are making guided visits. He moves into the aisle, to the right and to the left, right next to Bernini’s canopy that adorns the high altar, and rails against the Catholic Church, so much so that a woman gives him Martin Luther: “He’s back”, he feels in the background . His screams echo in the Basilica. Eventually the young man is blocked.“
