I can imagine problems when they go into combat...certainly they won’t be sent to the front line.

As a life-long Catholic, and a Rush Limbaugh misogynist, I have no problem with anybody who can meet the physical requirement standards taking the job. As a bonus, chicks will certainly look better in those outfits.

“...the guard’s role is largely ceremonial and many of its members still carry around a medieval weapon — the halberd, which is a combination of spear and battle axe.”

Medieval? Yes.

Ceremonial? No.

Those suckers are sharp and the Swiss Guard practice with them.

Women should never be allowed to fight or protect unless there are no males left.

Feminism brought us this.

Uh, yeah, they do carry those spear-ax thingamabobs, but they also have a modern side-arm underneath that gear. Let’s face it, they are bodyguards just like the secret service.

I’ve never understood why religions think of women as second class humans ..... a better mind in a female body ... guess it intimidates males that we’re a whole lot smarter and more logical ....

"I can imagine them for one role or another. Certainly we can think about this,"

After 500 years with no chicks.. yeah we'll think about it.

Any truth to the theory that the original Vatican guards
were Knights Templar? Since it is believed that many
Knights Templar fled to Switzerland during the pogrom against them.
