atican.va day to you.
Anonymous has now decided to lay siege to your site in response to the doctrines, liturgies and the precepts absurd and anachronistic that your organization is for profit (Roman Apostolic Church) propagates and spreads worldwide.

You have burned books of immense historical and literary value, you barbarously executed your fiercest detractors and critics over the centuries, have denied universally deemed valid or plausible theories, have led the unwary to pay to get access to paradise with the sale of indulgences.

Have you been guilty of riduazione enslavement of entire populations, using as a pretext your mission of evangelization and the spread of Christianity in the world.

In more recent times have played a significant role in helping Nazi war criminals find refuge in foreign countries and to evade international justice.

Let every day many of the members of the clergy may be responsible of molesting children, covering them when the facts become public domain.

Italy must tolerate interference in your daily life, public policy and social damage, and all that entails.

Do you have property and businesses for the value of billions of euros, on which you have strong tax incentives.

You refuse to declare objects and practices result of progress such as condoms or abortion as a clinical wounds to eradicate.

You are retrograde, one of the last bastions of an era forunatamente past, and destined anon repeated.

We sincerely hope that the Lateran Treaty will finally be revised in the near future and will come ... what you are relegated to a relic of times gone by.


This is NOT intended to attack the Christian religion or against the faithful around the world, but to the corrupt Roman Apostolic Church and all its emanations.

I was wondering how long it would be before some cocky anon got his undies in a bundle and tried the Vatican webservers. It's not like they have state of the art security. Somebody's just showing off by being a dork.

A couple of Bible verses come to mind...

How long, O Lord, how long?

This too shall pass.

The gates of hell shall not prevail.

golly, we should totally change what we believe so this never happens again.

I guess now would also be a great time to give some Phatties a crash course on the hacker group Anonymous. Here's how they tick, more or less:

Anonymous has no formal leadership. They are anarchical in the most literal sense of the word. They have a few designated hangout places online, including some websites, forums, and most popular of all, IRC. Anyone can join the Anons by just showing up and participating in whatever it is they're working on. Since there is no leadership, various Anons will come up with an idea for an "op" or operation on their own, then make a big bluster about how they'll execute their plan. There is no such thing as asking "Would anyone like to help out on this?" You simply start an OP and maybe some people will join up.

So, somebody who hangs out on an Anon chat room probably said "Hey, we're gonna hack the Vatican," and just went out and did it. I have no idea if anyone else helped this one guy, but it's common practice for an individual hacker to ascribe his actions as the work of Anonymous since that's how you attract helpers in future OPs.

Many Anon ops, such as this one, claim to be doing the hacking "For Great Justice!" but in reality most Anons are still just in it for teh lulz, and I suspect that in this case it's more for lulz.

Everything is for the lulz really...heh. Anyone else remember the time they actually got organized and took on Scientology in Project Chanology? They took down websites, drained fax machines of toner by faxing page after page of fully blacked out pages and organized massive sidewalk protests outside of Scientology centers worldwide. But like Arfink said, usually it's one or two people using the label and not one of the highly organized outliers like Project Chanology.

XKCD, a comic for every occasion!

[eagle_eye222001]

Groups without leadership will die off quickly...what they do accomplish will be more limited and random. We hear about the big anonymous attacks that work, but I assure you there are many more that don't go anywhere.

Affirming what Arfink said, it is much more likely this attack was done on account of because, and really did not stem from anti-Catholicism per se.

Good wake-up call for Vatican security.

[Basilisa Marie]

Anonymous is one of the most fascinating social experiments out there...because it shows what people do when given power completely free of consequences. Its the purest form of anarchy in existence. There truly is no code of ethics for the collective, besides its own entertainment.

They were probably upset that their leader turned traitor, so they thought where could he have found morals, where could he have learned the importance of family
