Worshipper rips out both eyes in Mass

Aldo Bianchini horrified onlookers when he gouged out his own eyes with his bare hands.
The graphic scene took place in Italy at a church in Viareggio. The 46-year-old had claimed that he heard voices that told him to tear out his own eyes - despite several hours on the operating table surgeons were unable to save his eyesight.
Churchgoers were left stunned after a man tore out both his eyeballs in the middle of a priest's sermon at Sunday Mass in a scene that resembled a horror film.

weak believer is so easy to be manipulated. Even if it's an invisible voice, you don't even know if it's God, Satan or ghosts

Aldo has been suffering from mental illness since his mid 20's . He is a very intelligent man who can speak 6 languages and is university educated. My thoughts go to his mother who witnessed this and to Aldo who I hope will now get the help he needs. My husband and Aldo were good friends at school and continued this friendship until Aldo started having problems and returned to stay in Italy with his family.
