(Fox) Brazilian church officials say the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Rio de Janeiro has escaped injury but not a robbery by three gunmen.
Rio archdiocese spokesman Adionel Carlos da Cunha says the robbery occurred Monday night when Cardinal Orani Joao Tempesta was being driven to a local radio station to participate in a debate.
Cunha says the assailants recognized Tempesta, apologized, but went ahead with the robbery anyway.
