Pope Benedict knocked down during Christmas Eve processional (video)


Pope Benedict XVI
was rushed by an unidentified woman as he shuffled up the Vatican aisle to perform Christmas Eve mass on Thursday.  Pope Benedict XVI was knocked down during the Christmas Eve processional, and while initial reports stated Pope Benedict XVI wasn't touched by the "mentally unstable" woman, video of the incident shows Pope Benedict XVI falling to the ground.

Pope Benedict XVI has become one of Howard Stern's favorite celebrities to impersonate, especially since the passing of his number one impression targert Senator Ted Kennedy.  Howard Stern refers to Pope Benedict XVI as "Nosferatu"--the vampire character from the classic 1920s film by the same name  Howard Stern also created a classic Howard Stern Show bit that featured Pope Benedict XVI luring young boys into his private chambers to play "Guitar Hero".

The Howard Stern Show is currently on vacation for the holidays, and is scheduled to return live January 4, 2010.
