Vatican Swiss Guard's new barracks designed to include women, newspaper says
VIENNA, Sept 12 (Reuters) - The new barracks of the Vatican Swiss Guard, the elite and colourfully dressed corps that protects the pope, will be designed to accommodate female guards even though they are not yet allowed, a Swiss newspaper reported on Sunday.
Nearly all of the guard are single men who live in a communal barracks just inside the Vatican gates. The commanders and married members live in separate apartments. All members are Swiss citizens.
The 50 million Swiss franc ($54.49 million) project for a new barracks is due to be completed by 2026 and will upgrade the guards' quarters to single rooms with private bathrooms, Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung reported.
"From the beginning it was important to us that the new building provide space for serving women," the newspaper quoted Jean-Pierre Roth, who heads the foundation overseeing the project, as saying.

"From the beginning it was important to us that the new building provide space for serving women," "Serving women" ... is that anything like the "Comfort Girls" supplied to the Japanese army in World War 2?

So the pope is a sexist a bigot...

He could very well be the “last pope” and fulfill the position of the False Prophet as depicted in the book of Revelation.

Will there be a maternity ward? Funny.
Ursula Andress was Swiss. Current ones may be found under "beautiful swiss actress" search. For those interested in research into the topic.
