VATICAN CITY
Telegraph (United Kingdom)
Hacking group Anonymous took down the Vatican website on Wednesday, saying it was targeting the “corrupt” Catholic Church, a day after a high-profile bust of the group’s alleged leaders.
In a statement, the collective said on its Italian-language website: “Anonymous decided today to besiege your site in response to the doctrine, to the liturgies, to the absurd and anachronistic concepts that your for-profit organisation spreads around the world.
“This attack is not against the Christian religion or the faithful around the world but against the corrupt Roman Apostolic Church.”
