BlueDragon:

Well, he doesn’t have any, as Stalin rhetorically asked. At least, not divisions of this world, but, maybe Pope John Paul II had a few spiritual divisions with Michael the Archangel leading the charge against communism in the East.

Back to my earlier post, no, I will hold to the Treaty of Westphalia and will only fight a defensive war, for as GK Chesterton wrote, the Catholic CHristian only fights to defend what is behind him, not what is in front of him. So if Alex agrees to not declare war, maybe a few rhetorical skirmishes, “allegorically speaking of course”, given that I am one of those Patristic types who believes in the 4 modes of scripture, Literal, “Allegorical”, Moral and anagogical would not be to bad

Ok, but if you change your mind...
remember remember, your troops must be in order.

British Red uniforms are passe', but some papal color, like
lighter scarlet color, would help them to identify one another.
Arrange them by ranks and files. Line 'em up, before leading any "charges".

That way, I can conserve ammo. I mean...you're all for
being conservative, aren't you?

And why not, since that is one of the splendid locales which
God goes to take vacation...

LOL I made no such promise before, and I make no such promise now, at least not until you stop beating your wife!
