'Mystic' Angelik in security breach at Vatican
Self-styled religious mystic and another faithful stopped by Vatican security from delivering letter to Pope Benedict XVI.
Italian press agency Ansa reports that two Maltese nationals were involved in a security breach at the Vatican, when they climbed over a security barrier at the Paul XI hall.
One of the persons in question is Angelik Caruana, who claims to deliver messages from the Holy Virgin in what have been uninterrupted visitations since 2006, when he claimed a statue of the Virgin in his house was weeping tears of blood.
Pope Benedict XVI was hosting a general audience at the time, when the two 'faithful' - as reported by Ansa - started shouting out loud to attract attention to them, to deliver a letter to Ratzinger.
According to Vatican press chief Fr Ciro Benedettini, the letter was taken by the Vatican gendarmerie, and contained "devotional messages". Caruana was then escorted to the exit. No aggression was reported but security guards appeared tense, according to La Repubblica.
Sister newspaper Illum had revealed an internal Curia document proving the blood found on the statue of the Holy Virgin inside the home of Angelik Caruana had in fact been human blood, allegedly that belonging to Caruana himself.
In a previous message delivered to Caruana on 4 August, the Virgin Mary was said to have promised a spring that would provide water that will heal the sick. Caruana recently claimed that the Holy Virgin had warned followers of her earlier prediction that divorce would be “on the lips of everyone”.
