You telling me a bunch of 19-30 year olds have to be single? Yeah I wouldn't trust my child around these sexually deprived men for a second, you catholics need some reformation, bunch of heathens.
@eraser695: You could become a naturalized citizen of Switzerland I suppose. I have no idea what that would require. Then you'd have to enlist in the Swiss Army. Then you could get into the Swiss Guard. But I think that you'd need to have someone in the Vatican recommend you.
@VictorLepanto Brother I am already 19 yrs of age. While my process of naturalizing I have to get married with a Swiss and this process would take to long. However the Swiss Guards required unmarried and 20 yrs of age. But I appreciate your help. Thank you brother.
@eraser695: You might find it easier to join the Vatican Gendarme Corps, that is, the Vatican police. It is made up of local Italians, so you might need to learn Italian but I doubt you need to be an Italian citizen. People from all over the world are employed in the vatican. Many lay positions. The thing is, most of the lay workers of the Vatican are part of what's call the Petrocino guild. Families that have worked for the Popes for 100s of yrs. Still, look into it, if I was as young as you...
@crysisman14 No, it seems you've missed the point, dear brother.
So WHAT if someone wants to harm the pope or anyone else?? It'd just be his god's divine will, either way...like ol' Job, right? So, whats the worst that could happen exactly? He dies & goes to heaven as god intends him to?
Seems the guards seem like a "Plan B", should his god's "Plan A" be deemed somehow insufficient.
Who's your saving one: Jesus or a Gun?
What would Darth Vader Do? "I find his lack of faith, ironic."
@EntinludeX ok yes he knows that if he dies he will go to heaven and that heaven is a wonderful place and all.. but who the hell really wants to get shot or stabbed or beat to death... no guards arent no pan B... just the simple reason of "i dont want no one to beat the hell out of me!" it is not lack of faith.. maybe you have.. lack of intelligence?
@crysisman14 "but who the hell really wants to get shot or stabbed or beat to death... no guards arent no pan B..."
I agree it's simle reason. Everyone wants to get to heaven, nobody wants to die. It's hilarious irony.
If god wants you alive, you'll live. If god wants yu dead, you'll die. OF COURSE security guards are a Plan B. Like bullet proof glass on the Pope Mobile: Because bullets are REAL, and heaven is myth.
God gave man the ability to invent and use tools, and the wit to avoid danger. However, man cannot avoid all temporal dangers, and faith in God's protection is meant to aid man against that which he cannot reasonably protect himself.
@baraxor "God gave man the ability to invent and use tools, and the wit to avoid danger. ...faith in God's protection is meant to aid man against that which he cannot reasonably protect himself."
Nonsense. Faith doesn't stop earthquakes or mudslides.
@SAYYOURROSARY Say whatever you want to say but you just wasting your time. Papa Bene XVI is loved by Ctholics and since you accuse him as heretic makes me wonder what's triggering you?
Perhaps you're just some other guy who believes the Church is themselves and not that headed by the See of Peter... tsk tsk tsk.. rant as much as you want.. u can't help it.. I am proud a genuine Catholic!!!
Thanks I can only smile with your rantings... God bless you.
Not many Swiss are " of color" but many bishops, cardinals, and canonized saints are.

Can you imagine ? Those guys must be devout . They have to guard a heretic
they don't like . Listen to his heretical verbicide and word-smithing . Ohhh man .
Maybe one of those guys will step forward and back-hand the anti p0Pe for being a modernist heretic that he is . Hopefully in public .

that they ar not in the real church . You say "New 0RDER "catholics" love him but it's not true .
Razinger was convicted of modernism by Pius XII He was a Nazi (he left Seminary to fight ? )
He denies the Holy Bible is completely true ! Jesus resurection was "New evolution of light"
He was most responsible for puch V2 through. He is ruining even the New Order Sect fake church
