In the night from the 18th to the 19th of September, unknown perpetrators cast a paint bomb on a welcome poster at a Church in Berlin.

The poster should a foto of Pope Benedict XVI and said "Welcome!" in Polish and German. The blue paint bomb exploded at the lower parts and severly stained the wall of the Polish Church in the proximities of the Nuntio's residence where the pope will stay over night.
The parish priest, originally from Poland, said: "I would have expected the Germans to be more tolerant!"
