Then do something, what ever happened to the Vatican being this badass secret police force. Was that just propaganda and they are weak and powerless?

Opus Dei (one of those secretive Catholics groups) is behind project 2025. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/06/opus-dei-gareth-gore-pope-leo

Hundreds of years ago sure. Not now, they spent most of their capital raping children in these latter years.

He's got some Swiss Guards. They've got halberds and very conspicuous attire that isn't camouflaged at all.

Might as well send them though.

They also have Sig SG 550s and 552s
