Pope Francis died.

The Swiss Guard are much like...


...the Palace Guard in England. Parade around in traditional uniforms with halberds, but can get very serious if the need were to arise.

I should add, that even in the position of being a bureaucrat, Francis had his priorities in the right order.

He was a good one.

I will say, I am shocked and sickened to see the news reports of "mourners" taking selfies of themselves with the casket in the background. I didn't think anything could shock me anymore. I'd like to turn the Swiss Guards loose on them.
