Pope’s Swiss Guard Gets Ready for FEMALE Members
LeMatin.ch (September 12) quotes Jean-Pierre Roth, a former head of the Swiss National Bank and president of the barrack foundation, “It was important to us from the beginning that the barracks provide a space for women in service.”
The president of the Patronage Committee, Ruth Metzler-Arnold, a former member of the Swiss Government, was even more explicit, “As soon as women are admitted, the recruitment potential of the Guard will also increase."
It is very difficult to find in the secularised Swiss Church young men willing to serve in the Guard.
