Pope Francis Wants Everyone Except the
Men Protecting Him to Give Up Their Weapons

Great. It's time for another call for "peace" that will be achieved by giving up all our weapons.
Pope Francis on Monday blasted the weapons industry and its "instruments of death" that fuel wars as he made a Christmas Day appeal for peace in the world and in particular between Israel and the Palestinians…
"It should be talked about and written about, so as to bring to light the interests and the profits that move the puppet strings of war," he said. "And how can we even speak of peace, when arms production, sales and trade are on the rise?"
If he's going to give up weapons, maybe start with telling the Swiss Guard to give up its "instruments of death"?
"For their protection and guard functions, the guards are equipped with Glock 19 and 26 automatic pistols, SIG 550 assault rifle (Stgw 90 ) and SIG 552 assault rifle (Commando), both in 5.56 mm x 45 caliber, OC-Spray and destabilizing devices (Taser X2). modernization of the already aging Stgw 90 (which was donated by the Swiss Army at the time), currently B&T APC 556 assault rifles and B&T APC 9 submachine guns are used."
Beyond these, the only reason Vatican City isn't overrun by guys with machine guns mounted on pickup trucks howling, "Allahu Akbar" is because there still is an Italian military, under the Lateran Treaty, such as it is, armed with some of those "instruments of death".
Beyond it there's the larger European community, NATO and the United States and all their instruments of death which serve as a guarantor of the security of the Vatican.
This is not a theoretical question.
Jihadists are obsessed with the idea of invading and conquering Rome to fulfill some of the genocidal prophecies of their cult.
On January 17, 2020, a video was uploaded to the Internet of an event at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on the anniversary of the 1453 AD capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire. The event was held by Hizb ut-Tahrir. Palestinian preacher Nidhal "Abu Ibrahim" Siam spoke before the crowd and said that the anniversary of the fall of Constantinople brings tidings that Rome will be conquered in the near future.
Nidhal Siam: "Oh Muslims, the anniversary of the conquest of Constantinople brings tidings of things to come. It brings tiding that Rome will be conquered in the near future, Allah willing."
Samir Zaqout, the head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's Political Bureau in Gaza, said in a June 8, 2023 show on Al-Quds Al-Youm TV (Palestinian Islamic Jihad – Gaza) the Muslims will conquer Rome and Europe as the Prophet Muhammad foretold in the Hadith." He said that this will happen "at its destined time."
In a Friday sermon that aired on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV on April 11, 2008, Hamas MP and cleric Yunis Al-Astal said: "Very soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople was, as was prophesized by our Prophet Muhammad. Today, Rome is the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital, which has declared its hostility to Islam, and has planted the brothers of apes and pigs [i.e., the Jews] in Palestine in order to prevent the reawakening of Islam – this capital of theirs will be an advance post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, and even Eastern Europe.
While Pope Francis encourages the Muslim migrants swarming into Europe to complete these genocidal "prophecies", the only thing standing between Vatican City and an invasion are brave men armed with some of those "instruments of death."
