A cell phone camera was one of many being used to capture images of the pontiff. As the pope was knocked down, video of the woman's act was caught. The woman, apparently unstable, jumped the barriers and knocked him down on his way to the altar.
The 82-year-old pope quickly got up and was unhurt. Footage aired on Italy's RAI state TV showed a woman dressed in a red hooded sweatshirt leaping over the wooden barriers and rushing toward the pope before being swarmed by bodyguards. Video shot by a witness showed the woman grabbing the pontiff's vestments as she was taken down, with Benedict apparently falling on top of her.
The Christmas eve mass had been moved up two hours to 2100 GMT or 10 PM, to ease the strain on the Pope during the busy Christmas season. Vatican spokespeople dispelled the rumors that the pope was ill.

I wonder why she did that, too. Maybe it's the same sort of rock-star syndrome, where fans just want to get as close as they can and then run the "star" over.
*shrug* Just a suggestion. I could think of a few reasons why I would knock the pope over, but you don't see me actually going and doing it. And I'm sure if you shipped me to Vatican City and dared me, I'd chicken out.

The Vatican's Christmas Eve mass had an NFL quality tonight. A mentally unstable woman knocked over Pope Benedict XVI as he walked down the aisle at St. Peter's Basilica. The Pope is OK. Thank God.

I wouldn't say that the Pope is a rich man. And yes Jesus decried those that prayed loudly in public because they were seeking the recognition of man. Besides, it isn't money that is the problem, it is the love of money that is the problem.
