Swiss Papal Guard - the only force that has protected the Pope for 500 years now.
Huldrych Zwingli, a Swiss Catholic who later became a Protestant reformer is reputed to have said: "The Swiss see the sad situation of the Church of God, Mother of Christianity, and realize how grave and dangerous it is that any tyrant, avid for wealth, can assault with impunity, the common Mother of Christianity."

Good for them and good for you. I'm sure it was an honour for them to have served the vicar of Christ.

A remarkable and enduring history of tradition, duty, faith and loyalty in the service of the Pope and the Holy See….the earthly equivalent of St Michael, the Archangels and Cherubim hosts guarding the realms of heaven. May God continue to bless the Swiss Guard.

Gave their lives on the steps to heaven, thy will be done...for the grace for the might of the lord, for the home of the holy, for the faith for the way of the sword, gave their lives so boldly.

I love Swiss people and cheese... Do you know the Malakoff ? Made with cheese. Love it. It's from Vaud area. On the hill surrounded by vineyards, over the Leman's loch. Etiva is made at the Col du Pilon. Gruyère near Fribourg. Etc... I am a lucky guy who had the chance to travel a little bit.

A new guard unit for international people would be a good compromise to let everyone else into the guard.

@Slithermotion 6 жыл бұрын

Hmmm... I don't know, the swiss being neutral for centuries therefor nobody really hates them, and if you let in people from different countries it could cause problems. I mean if there would be mexicans and american guards and someone like trump acts like he does it could cause problems in the unit.(just an example). The Papal Guard isn't to show off different countries it's there to deffend the pope and if not needed be quiet and do the traditional thing with those fancy pants ;). And the swiss guard is a century long tradition why now breaking up with it?Never change a running system the swiss guards have done a brilliant job so far there is no need to change that.

There was an international army that protected the Pope in the 1800s, which had majority soldiers from the Netherlands, France and Belgium, many from Canada and Italy and I believe one Chinese, one Indian, around 3 blacks from Africa, one Mexican and two Russians. Alot more from a whole bunch of other nations. It was called the Papal Zaouves.

Well...not neutral. The politics are neutral not the economy that's a different. And if you are surrounded by fascists and your agriculture isn't sufficient for food you are more or less forced to deal with he devil. And the only thing the facists were interested was guns,transport and money. Just look at the map of WW2 mussolini to the south, hitler to the north and east and a defeated france to the west. There was no option other then making deals with the devil.

Well , guess that puts the BS to your "longest military unit in existence" . What date are you starting at since they have been disbanded TWICE by your information . Also want to point out that the Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman empire were two DIFFERENT empires and Rome was no longer a power long before Byzantium came into existence . EDIT : MY GOD MAN , CHECK YOUR MATH ! 150 start a battle alive 147 die and 48 survive .... care to explain how that one happened ?

Yes you are . Name calling is a troll maneuver while I was correcting misinformation presented as fact with facts , which is not . Apparently you don't even know what a troll is but you just HAD to add something to a conversation about a topic you apparently know nothing about or you might actually answered my questions .
