"Pope No More!" the young woman shouted, before she was dragged away by several police officers.
The woman had "Paedophilia No More" scrawled on her bare chest and "Pope No More" on her back.
She also let off a pink flare - a parody of the white smoke from the roof of the Sistine Chapel that will signal a pope has been elected.
