教宗本篤十六世 位於德國 的出生地建築大門,昨被人用藍色油漆,噴上顯眼的冒犯塗鴉標語,疑是抗議教宗涉嫌包庇戀童神父,德國警方稱標語內容「太淫穢」不便透露,但「可確定此事與性侵兒童有關」。德國傳媒稱,被噴的字是「F**k Yourselves」。
這棟3層建築是有264年歷史的老房,位於德國與奧地利邊境的馬克特爾鎮(Marktl am Inn),教宗1927年出生於此,每年吸引很多教徒去朝聖。

Police are investigating obscene graffiti daubed on the house in Bavaria where Pope Benedict XVI was born. They won't reveal what it said but say it is related to the abuse scandal in the Catholic Church. The writing was hastily painted over.
Obscene graffiti has been sprayed on the house in southern Germany where Pope Benedict XVI was born, police in the Bavarian town of Marktl am Inn said on Tuesday.
Police said the graffiti was blue writing in letters about 30 centimeters high but they declined to reveal what it said. A spokesman said the graffiti, written above the front door, referred to the abuse scandal rocking the Catholic Church. It did not make specific reference to the pope, the spokesman said.
"A painter was called to paint over the obscene text," police said in a statement asking for any witnesses to come forward.
The Vatican is facing growing allegations that it covered up past cases of abuse of children by priests in the United States and several European countries. The latest accusations have focused on the role of Pope Benedict when he was still an archbishop in his native Germany and then the Vatican's top doctrinal official.
Benedict was born Joseph Ratzinger on April 16, 1927 in the small village of Marktl. The house contains a permanent exhibition about his life and works. He only spent the first two years of his life there. |
