ROME -- This weekend a priest was injured as hundreds of silent pro-family demonstrators were verbally abused and even violently attacked by homosexualist and anarchist counter-protesters at different venues throughout Italy. In Bologna, Turin, Genoa, Aosta, and Rovereto on Sunday, homosexualists and anarchists stepped up their attacks on the increasingly popular Standing Sentinels (“Sentinelle in Piedi”) demonstrations against “gay marriage” and the “LGBT” agenda. In 100 cities, organizers said about 10,000 people participated in the events.
In the northern city of Rovereto, although the Sentinels had obtained a permit for the use of the piazza, a group identified as anarchists arrived and demanded that the Sentinels leave. After destroying the Sentinels’ publicity materials, screaming threats and throwing eggs, the anarchists attacked, reportedly punching, kicking, and pushing participants. Despite being warned of possible threats of violence, police were not present when the assault began that resulted in two being taken to hospital: a priest, Fr. Matteo Graziola, and a young woman who has not been identified.
One policeman suffered bruises and a police spokesman admitted they should have arrived sooner on the scene. (more...)
