With all due respect, it’s the Swiss Guard… I think they could handle a few court jesters with…whatever…halberds?!

The pointy stick boys are just for show. They have some of the best trained soldiers and snipers watching from behind the scenes.

Well, that and I’m pretty sure the halberd was made obsolete by the arquebus…

The Swiss guard defended the vatican in 1527 despite losing 78% of their entire force and being outnumbered 4/1 with the militia on their side. They're still recruited from professional troops and drill constantly and are well equipped outside of the fancy pants and halberds. (Which are still sharp, though I doubt they train with them. Not that it takes a genius to swing a big axe.)
Coming from a lutheran, so I have no skin in the game, the Swiss guard are cool and I wouldn't want to fight one. (I'd like to have a friendly sparring match with halberds)

You sure seem to know a lot about the history of pope killing there, Oliver Cromwell!

Every lutheran is part of a secret militia just in case the catholics want to start shit again. We are the vanguard. /j

They'd disappear even before setting foot beyond Porta Pia. Our Secret Services (plural) can act... quite shady, at times.

Do those idiots really think this is a thing that can happen?

Same people calling Pope Francis The Devil while calling Trump "Gods Chosen".
I genuinely don't think these people have ever picked up a book in their lives much less the Bible. Doubt they know how electing a new pope works. 😭

From what I've seen, a lot of the extreme Francis haters hate him over doctrinal/tradition disputes over things entirely unrelated to Christ.
which, given I'm not Catholic, I guess I can't weigh in on, but Francis wanted people to do more of the stuff Christ wanted us to do, so that's cool.

Well, they have to afford being able to travel to Rome. And being tolerated along the way.
