I'm worried about Pope Leo.

[no_hypocrisy]

I keep thinking about Pope John Paul (allegedly) dying in his sleep in 1978.

1. Pope Leo is a tough cookie and nobody's fool.

He will be OK.

Trump is the one who needs to watch out.

5. Never mess with a guy

from Chicago.

6. Grew up in the South Side of Chicago.

10. I grew up in Brooklyn

and we have better pizza.

[Emile]

11. Well, the south side of Chicago

is the baddest part of town.
And if you go down there
You better just beware of a man named Pope Leo.

I love a deep dish pizza.

13. I was just thinking very similar thougts.

[Emile]

14. Lol, I see that.

[SocialDemocrat61]

15. The subway rats prefer New York style

[BlueKota]

12. This just reminded me of this song!

This situation is begging for a remake of it, with new pro Leo lyrics.

2. I hope Pope Leo has good security staff.

[SocialDemocrat61]

16. These guys?

[markpkessinger]

19. They are actually quite highly trained . . .

. . . and are considered to be an elite military unit. Those are just ceremonial uniforms in the photo.

Beyond their ceremonial role, the Swiss Guard is a modern security force equipped with advanced training and weaponry:

• Elite Background: Every recruit is a Swiss citizen who has already completed basic training with the Swiss Armed Forces.
  
• Modern Weaponry: While they carry traditional halberds, they are also armed with modern SIG Sauer pistols, assault rifles, and submachine guns.
  
• Specialized Training: Since the 1981 assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II, the Guard has significantly increased its focus on modern tactics, including:

– Counter-terrorism and anti-sniper operations.
– Close-quarters battle (CQB) and tactical fast shooting.
– Executive protection and hostage rescue.
– Tactical driving and medical services.

3. That's been a conspiracy

But where I thought you were going with that was the attempted assassination of John Paul II in 1981.

21. Hey, Jeffrey Epstein got 86'ed in prison.

Nobody’s safe.

[SocialDemocrat61]

4. Wasn't that Michael Corleone?

Trump isn’t as smart or tough as Michael.

[usonian]

7. Reform popes get threats from the corrupt.

He has a Swiss Guard force, high on chocolate.

[valleyrogue]

8. As long as he stays away from the US and the MAGA idiots,

at least for the duration of Trump's regime, he should be okay.

[Jilly_in_VA]

9. I think you should chill out a bit

A. Pope Leo has the Swiss Guard, who aren't as silly as their uniforms look
B. Shitler isn't nearly as tough or smart as he thinks he is.

[maxsolomon]

17. Have you see the Swiss Guards?

No one is getting through these guys:

[canetoad]

20. Thank you

I came to post a video of the Swiss Guard.

[lindysalsagal]

18. I see what you did, there....he hee.

Don't think gawd will protect his emissary? Me, neither.
