back to article Pope gives blessing to anti-christ terrorist squad

The Vatican’s security service will be tapping into Interpol’s computers after setting up an in-house anti-terrorism unit. According to reports, the Vatican’s Gendarmerie has put together a "rapid intervention group" and an "anti-sabotage department" as sub-units of its gendarmerie corps. The Vatican will also work more …

    Or is this in preparation for the big one?

    This must surely be the 10076'th sign of the apocalypse.

    If anyone knows when it is comming, it is surely The Pope.

    Upgrading his "special troops" is just what is needed before the demons come hauling up from the earth.

    The cover-up is of course not so much to prevent people from worrying (after all - getting people to worry about their future is what the Catholic church is all about), but rather to catch the Devil unaware.

    There's aliens out there all right. Oh yes, they are coming too. In modified airliners they'll come. Did you know planes have been disappearing from the junk yard in the Arizona desert? Taken and modified by aliens, they were. They'll come soon enough. We'll all be sucked up into the modified planes and dropped into volcanoes. No amount of baggy trousers and madness with guns will save us. They may be amongst us already.

    The Gendarmerie Antiterrorism Squad ... Our chief weapon is surprise... and fear...fear and surprise Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

    "Upgrading his "special troops" is just what is needed before the demons come hauling up from the earth."

    Pff, everyone knows that when the demons come through, the only thing that will stop them is a lone marine, left in his base while his comrades in the initial assault get slaughtered.

    he will then enter the fray armed only with a pistol and his bare fists, to take on the hell-spawn.

    Hope that helps :-)

    What next? Anti-peadophilia unit?

    Hey,

    Vatican is changing... last time they had anything to do with terrorism was during operation Gladio and P2 (Propaganda 2) lodge but strangely enough, at the time they were as effective with anti-terrorism enquiries as they are co-operating on peadophilia cases today!

    Ironic

    One of the organsitations most likely to cause a war, force 3rd world countrys to have babys and burn people at the stake, given their own anti-terror organsitation.

    Is it April1st?

    More of our liberties disappearing!

    First it's crack anti-terrorist vicars and the next thing you know they'll be recording our prayers and data-mining them to use for targeted omens so your revelation experience can be more relevant....

    All of you are evidently disillusioned with the pope and his institution. I don't blame you, christian believers are down in numbers, churches are empty, and taken over by mosques, anti-abortion legislation etc ... etc.. etc...

    Join us and "ALLAH" "Subhanahu wa ta'ala" will grant you paradise.

    Ahh, the Book Of Armaments, Chapter 4, versus 9 to 21, unless you skip a bit. Let's just hope that the "Rabbit of Caerbannog" is not resurrected.

    This reminds me of Civ III

    "It will cost 60 gold to upgrade this unit of Pikemen to Riflemen."

    I wonder if Vatican already has Barracks built?

    You may be on to something... after all, ignorance is bliss, so it could be a reward for their faith

    The Pope already has these. You don't know about them because he keeps them under his hat.

    Just to set the record straight

    The pope is not the anti-christ! He is, however, an excellent candidate for the false prophet, ie, the #2 spot.

    Nah, this time he'll be given the BFG9000 from the start, after reciting the holy scriptures of IDKFA and IDDQD.

    Old stuff

    Vatican guards have been armed with various types of subs for awhile.

    The pole-axe is for back scratching, cheese cutting and beheading heretics.

    The costumes are just mod.

    spanish inquisition all over...

    this is nothing but a ploy by the vatican to reinstate the spanish inquisition.

    thanks to their access to interpol they will now be able to track heretics all over the world.

    the black hel(l)icopter because that's what the inquisition death squads will descenfd upon us in.

    Wow...

    The Pope has apparently just found the method to get Creationism taught instead of Evolution in the schools...the Holy Hitmen!!!

    Bah, you're all incorrect

    Has sci-fi taught you nothing? It's always the guys with awesome melee weapons (see pole-axes) that win in a fight. Especially in Sci-fi RTS games. So if the pope has a special command and control screen to order the poleaxe guys around with, they're our best hope of stemming the alien / demon tides. Especially if they were to mount flamethrowers in the ends of their pole-axes.

    Mine's the flame-retardant one.

    Yet again...

    ...the Vatican dazzles us with its modern approach. IIRC, the last such surprise was the pope admitting that the earth is indeed an ellipsoid, only half a millennium after that had been conclusively proven by repeated circumnavigation.

    And yet it moves...

    What about protection of the abused children ?

    Could the Pope and his 'crack' squad possibly concentrate on protecting the flock first from all the peado. priests ?

    $600 million in the state of California and $50 million in Boston paid out to the victims of Catholic Priests child abuse.
