Catholic ping!
No.
I would stay away if the Vatican closed - I would trust the Pope on that question. Otherwise, I would not allow the terrorists to win, nor would I take advice from Obama or from any of his minions.
This explains the recent story about nuns being searched at the Vatican.
My Daddy, a Baptist preacher, told me this long ago!
So when does Italy close the borders and kick out the savages?
I’ve been thinking that since Benedict retired.
This shouldn’t be a Catholic ping. It should be a Christian wide ping.
Pray for the safety of the people there. If ISIS thinks attacking the Vatican will advance the cause, I think they will find they were very wrong.
They are seriously overplaying their hand.
“If the Islamic conquest of Jerusalem led to the end of Christianity as the dominant religion in the Holy Land, and the same was true in the Byzantine Empire with the fall of Constantinople, the conquest of Rome and the Islamization of St. Peter’s Basilica would mean the effective destruction of the Church worldwide, and its replacement with Islam.”

And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
It's gonna happen folks. They are invading as we speak.
How about instead ---U.S. former military, Marines foremost (?)--- should be encouraged to flood the joint with daily presence of hundreds, if not thousands of combat veterans. Other allied forces veterans most welcome also...
The Swiss Guards could stand having willing reinforcements, a few good men who are brave enough to disarm assailants, even if they have to do it bare-handed.
Maybe the Vatican could rent 'em some weaponry while they're visiting?
More seriously, all European governments should begin build-up of armories to supply troops, militias, and possibly conscripts also, if it comes to that --- and do it today, begin right now. (this should have been done years ago)
In regards to the idea of in the near-term ---flooding the Vatican and surrounding environs with former Western ally military--- the fly in the oinkment is that the Muslims who would intend to do others harm for sake of their own religion itself (and their overwhelming jealousies & insecurities) like to use improvised explosive devices.
Yet; who better to recognize those kind of things but men who served a few tours in the Muzzie-land sandboxes?
Combat veterans should not only get in free (no charge) they should be paid to visit the Vatican, and spend lingering hours among all the attractions.
Every day.
Note to self: Don’t invest in European-tourist travel businesses.
As long as Francis is the pope, I wouldn’t get within 50 miles of Vatican City.
And it’s not because of the murderous muslims; it’s the Holy Ghost sending a bolt of lightning that I’m worried about.
