Yes, true. Do you think the Pope has an army? A huge security service like the CIA? Thousands of armed guards?

Nope. Any security for the Vatican comes from Italian police on the perimeter of the Vatican and the Swiss Guards (which if I recall correctly number no more than 600, and that includes people in ceremonial positions).
