posted:
ROME (Reuters) - The Italian branch of the hackers group Anonymous took down the Vatican's website on Wednesday, saying it was an attack on the Roman Catholic Church's scandals and conservative doctrine.

The Vatican website www.vatican.va was inaccessible. A spokesman said he could not confirm that the crash was the work of the hackers group but said technicians were working to bring it back up.

A statement on the Italian website of the loosely-knit cyber-activists group accused the Church of being responsible for a long list of misdeeds throughout history, including the selling of indulgences in the 16th century and burning heretics during the Inquisition.

"Today, Anonymous has decided to put your site under siege in response to your doctrine, liturgy and the absurd and anachronistic rules that your profit-making organization spreads around the world," the website said.


God supports anonymous over the Vatican? How else could it have happened?

You know at least they're willing to have a fight over it.



The rest of you pussies cower in fear that either A. The govt will punish you or B. God will.




Kudos to them for at least picking a fight.

I am really glad that someone is finally getting around to punishing the Vatican for selling indulgences in the 16th century. This is clearly one of the pressing issues of our times and I'm glad anonymous is on the case!

anonymous are chickens. if they want to show that they got guts, and make a REAL impact, they should go after the mexican drug cartel's bank accounts. or since they are so anti-religion, go after the muslim brotherhood.

The act amounts to vandalism. Trying to act like petty acts of vandalism is "taking on the Catholic Church" over AIDS in Africa is dumb.

When I saw the thread title I thought they may have uncovered something interesting. Instead we have this nonsense.

i wasn't implying that anonymous was doing anything of value. just that the catholic church (as a central entity) is just as fcked as it was in the 1600's.

It is not their belief system but their policies that Anon has issues with... and those certainly can be debated.

It does indeed. I haven't been there for a year or so, but it used to be well done and had some awesome archives access for many things Catholic. A solid place to include in relevant research.
