VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis's weekly general audience at the Vatican on Wednesday was briefly interrupted by two women from an animal rights group, who shouted and held up signs against bullfighting.

The women walked down an aisle in the Vatican's Paul VI hall holding signs written in Spanish and English saying, "Bullfighting is a sin."
