Security Breaches Cause Concern at the Vatican & for the Safety of Pope Francis | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Vatican has been shocked by 2 recent security breaches. A car drove through barriers at the Vatican 2 weeks ago. It prompted gunfire from security officers. One man was arrested. 2 days ago, a man took off his clothes and stood on the high altar of Saint Peter's Basilica. The incidents also highlight security concerns for the safety of Pope Francis. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins to share whether the Vatican has a security problem. Thonhauser explains what this means for the overall security in the Vatican and whether additional security measures are being taken. He discusses the penitential rites that had to be performed at the desecrated altar. On another note, Thonhauser tells us more about Cardinal Matteo Zuppi as he will be in Ukraine Monday and Tuesday on behalf of Pope Francis. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
