You think we military oriented freepers don’t like learning about duty at the Vatican?
Clericalism. Clericalism is the problem, I tell ya. Clericalism and too much rule following. And devotion to the Latin mass. Clericalism, rule following, and devotion to the Latin mass. Those are the problems with the Church.
And obsession with abortion. Clericalism, rule following, devotion to the Latin mass, and obsession with abortion. Other than that, who am I to judge?
The Swiss Guard is the Seal Team 6 of Guarding. Its always been that way.
> guards from other countries too
i suspect this has to do with it..
Why do they dress them up like clowns or something out of Alice in Wonderland???
Never heard of the TV show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy? This is the inspiration for that show!
I do vaguely remember the title...I wouldn't have gone any where near it...
As you’ve probably learned by now (judging from some of the posts following), they’re well armed—Sigs, Glocks, among other lethals and the sword they know how to use, sprays, with with almost instant access to much heavier firepower. Those uniforms are deceiving, plenty of room for concealment. And besides armed & unarmed combat skills, each one of them learns at least one additional language to his native French/German/Italian, usually two or three. Someone said they were like Seals. True—but with Secret Service aspects and certain “Third Order” religious duties.
If you are part of the church, you are supposed to judge those within the church.
"I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person. For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.” 1Cor 5:9-13
