Original Note:
In none of the news sources for this incident, which occurred in February, is the man identified as a Muslim. All that has been revealed about him is that he is Romanian and was mentally ill. This post presents an unverified claim as fact. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/262109/man-attacks-high-altar-of-st-peters-basilica-at-the-vatican https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/08/travel/man-ransacks-st-peters-basilica-vatican/index.html https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/romanian-man-defaces-vatican-altar-1234732113/
