<\/p>\nAn angry nun has been videoed slamming a protestor into muddy ground in a move similar to a WWE superstar.<\/p>\n
The mad moment, where the nun full-on barged into an ecowarrior at a construction site in France, occurred during a massive protest against the building of a new giant church. Protestors have been gathering outside and inside the building site in Saint Pierre-de-Colombier all week, chaining themselves to barriers and machinery in the hopes of stopping the new 3,500-seat church being built.<\/p>\n
However, one of the nuns from the Missionary Family of Notre Dame appeared to be unwilling to listen to one of the group . . . and proceeded to spear him to the ground. Journalist Nicolas Ferro, from France's Channel 3, captured the moment, which was then posted on X by colleague Leo Chapuis.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cThe good sister who dumps an environmentalist… a big spectacle in Ard\u00e8che where nuns defend the construction site of a future religious centre against activists who are blocking it because of the impact on the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the violent act, the nun was supported by her own missionary. A spokesperson said: \u201cIts members have not committed any act of violence; they have blocked violent and illegal actions, and have endeavoured to ensure that their rights, which were being violated in our home, are respected.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the protestors, Pierrot Pantel, an ecological engineer for the National Association for Biodiversity, admitted that what they were doing was illegal . . . but didn't seem bothered. He told EuroNews: \u201cObviously, we're breaking the law by protesting on private land, but we're breaking the law because we're trying to prevent another offence, a much more serious one, because it's irreversible.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt's absurd on so many levels. The building permit was obtained in a rather fraudulent manner, that is to say that false statements were made, which allowed the Missionary Family of Notre Dame, the project owner, to obtain its building permit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Local police chief Sophie Elizeon has called for calm between the two warring factions, while building work continues to take place.<\/p>\n
