Soldiers Of The Pope | Full Movie | David Willer 

I'm an American service veteran, I have always admired the pontifical Swiss Guard, very renoun military unit , keeping watch over the smallest country and personal Guard to His Holiness, I have to sayTheir Blue Yellow Uniforms they wear ,really stand out above any other military units on Gods green earth. The Swiss should be proud of these men carrying on their Solemn duty protecting His Holiness. Makes me envious being an American than that of Swiss nationality. I would love to be able to do that job and wear that beautiful uniform. Gid bless his Holiness and the men of the Swiss Guard

"For the grace, for the might of our Lord, In the name of His glory For the faith, for the way of the sword Come and tell their story, Gave their lives so boldly, Come and tell the Swiss Guards' story again." - The final lines from the Sabaton song "The Last Stand".

Superb tradition. Thank you for your service and dedication to our Pope. God bless you all Swiss Guards🙏👍

What a beautiful tradition - long live the Swiss Guard!

Thank you for your service to all our Popes throughout centuries. We love you all.

I also love my Holy Roman Catholic Church. I thank God for giving me the faith.

A beautiful compilation. Wonderful to see our dear Pope John Paul II and remember we still have dear Pope Benedict XVI. The Swiss Guards make such an important part of the Vatican. God bless those fine young men from Switzerland.

Thank you for the Swiss guard for protecting the Pope and the Catholic Church the true Church of Christ

I love this, not only is catholic worship practices go way back centuries, the history of the Pope's Army is also ancient, so inspired by this short film. May God continues to lead you guide our Pontiff.

The Magisterium of my Church, pierces my heart. I love her with all my heart and soul

I feel proud to have watched this Movie. A million thanks for your best efforts to have produced such a beautiful movie 😇👍👍

Swiss guard you all look handsome in your uniform thank you for guarding our Pope love from NZ

Such a storied and fascinating history of this gallant and unique military unit whose heroic stand in 1527 defending the Pope has been compared to the last stand of the Spartans at Thermopylae. May God continue to bless the Swiss Guard.

It is such a joy watching this film!I love Pope JJP II! It makes me praise and glorify our God for giving us a visible church, the Holy Catholic and Apostolic church and for the Sacrament of priesthood and all the 7 Sacraments. Thank you to our beloved Swiss Guards for protecting our present Holy Father, Pope Francis - the Vicar of Christ. You are all in my daily prayers. Most Holy Trinity may you give our a Holy Father a gift of wisdom and gift of fortitude and that He will remain faithful to you and your teaching. O Lord Jesus, Great Hight Priest- give your Holy Church many Holy, Courageous, Righteous and Faithful priests!🙏✝️💕🌿

This movie was made in the late 80’s, early 90’s. It’s been more than 30 years.

Proud to be a Roman Catholic with its tiniest city and independent sovereignty in the world. The Church is fully Human, so as this supporting army and many other humanly supporting 💜 services. The Church is also fully Divine like its Head Jesus Christ. At its human nature the Pope is the HOS Head of State and the leaders of world governments respect him. And at its Divine nature the Church that has been built on the rock of St Peter at Caesarea Philipi to preach the Gospel of God make all nations deciples and the Pope is its earthy leader and head. All other denomination on this planet earth shall respect the Pope despite personal disagreements due to limited understanding and hatred.

God bless, Swiss Guard thank you for your service to our Holy Father...

Thank you for this sharing. It is great to know that the Holy Father and the Holy city are guarded so well. May God's Holy protection and Blesssings be with all the protectors and their families in such a great traditional professional and dedicated way. 🙏

Close to 50 yrs ago when in the Vatican working for my Cardinal, the Swiss Guards were so intense in their duties. When off duty these fellows were all Swiss Army Trained and to see their comments of the faith and willing to lay their down their lives for the Pope. Amazing. Bravo to the Swiss Guards and Many Thanks for your loyal service.

Thank You for this video🙏God Bless Each And Every One Of These Soldiers🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏

Very interesting documentary. 👌👍👍 God bls th Swiss Guards & their families exceedingly thr Jesus Christ, amen. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Thank you for your service, God bless you all ❤️🙏🙏🙏

Dios los bendiga! St. Michael, protect them into the battle!

Would be cool to be a Swiss guard and to protect the Pope. I’m Catholic and it would be an honor to be them

Amen. Thank you fof your unselfish duty to the Holy See. God bless all of you great soldiers.

Thank you for the video. 🙏🏾

God bless the Swiss Guard. 🇨🇭🇺🇲

Having served as a US Marine I wish American Catholic males could have been allowed to serve the Pope in the Swiss Guard.

Fun fact : the swordbearer at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2888">48:08</a> is corporal Christoph Graf, now colonel and 35th commander of the Swiss Guard.

John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1116">18:36</a> Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.” 37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”

Thank you.🙏🌎🇺🇸

Excelente realización. Felicitaciones. Muchas gracias. Ojalá esa guardia pontificias se mantenga siempre. Es esplendorosa.

No one calls them Soldiers of The Pope, they are called, as long as I can remember (73 years old) The Swiss Guard.

Fantastic..May God bless them all 🙏❤

Wonderful thank You

EXCELLENT VIDEO👏🏼

God bless all Swiss guard

Thankyou

EXCELLENT!

God bless the Swiss Guard. I really enjoyed the video

The hierarchy is grand. The tradition great

And so it's nice going to be a Swiss Guard...physically,mentally and spiritually sturdy creatures of the Almighty God... Mabuhay ang Iglesia Katolika Romana!

Swiss infantry and combat skills were second to none.

Thank you for this fully detailed video knowing who protect our beloved Pope❤️

I love it. God bless

Wow what eye opener topic.

Proud, very proud to be Catholic.

..very nice and really great honor to be soldier there..

Apparently this film is from 2005 but the footage seems much older.

Their uniforms are gorgeous.

So many tourists bother the Queens/King's Guard in the UK, but nobody ever bothers these guys.

GOD BLESS .... Semua Umat Beragama .

I m proud to be a citizen of this country!

Great

God bless them

Until 1970 there were other two types of guards, the "noble guard" (wearing a red uniform and a golden helmet) and the " palatine guard" (wearing a blue one). Both were abolished by Paul Vl.

God bless you Guard of Holy Father 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏... your awesome

Solong our Swiss Boys belief in God that is the most Important.

amen. god bless you all...

“Then the 189. In the service of heaven. They’re protecting the holy line. It was 1527.”

Superbe film, quelle expression de dignité et de grandeur merci. Plaisir de revoir Jean Paul II.

God bless the Swiss Guards

My friends and I would be visiting Rome next year

The One True Church has the style and class and the taste only an institution that keeps standing the test of time can acquire.

Saint Michael be The Swiss Army Protector. 💖💕🌿

Don't let their costumes fool you. The Swiss Guard has full access to modern day military firearms. The Pope is one of the most heavily guarded persons in Italy, and any threat against him would have to go through the Roman Carbinieri first, then the Vatican Police...before even reaching the Palace where the Swiss Guard actually are.

Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring suspicion upon ourselves.

Am I the only one bothered by the peeling paint in the Guards' Chapel at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="915">15:15</a>? These young men swear to give their lives for the pope if needed to protect him but if they want to practice the organ they have to sit in a dark, run-down place.

God bless Swissguard...

Outstanding presentation. I was surprised the narrator at a few points stepped back from acknowledging the existence and belief in Jesus. Trying to please too many people and belief systems for my liking. In the 3 years of his public life the Lord did over 40 individual miracles directly witnessed and testified to by early Christians, and there were other occasions where multitudes came to him and all present were healed. Those miracles continue with Eucharistic miracles, individual healings that authenticate and affirm sainthood, and the long history of miracles recorded at the sites of Mary's appearances, Lourdes, Fatima, Guadalupe to name only a few. Evidence is there. Opposition to His authority is also with us of course, ever since the serpent in the garden of Eden.

So the Swiss decided to build and fund a new barracks for the Swiss Guard. The existing building has no architectural or historical value so the Vatican agreed to have the current building razed and rebuild a new one with private rooms and bathrooms for all soldiers and all other amenities you expect in the 21st century in a first world country. The Swiss are ready. They are now waiting for a Vatican/Italian decision. They are now waiting for four years. :)

I wish I could serve in a role similar to this, unfortunately. It's just not possible.

The ‘Sack of Rome’, indirectly but in part the reason for the denial of Henry VIII’s requested annulment and thus the English Reformation.

Wow.

Comrades who fell in battle five centuries ago are duly commemorated.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2528">42:08</a> "Zweihänder" sword. For chopping up gaps in tight enemy pike formations. Tough job... These guys was also known as "Doppelsöldner". Imagine finding them in the papal swiss guard.

Must be incredibly strange and awesome at the same time to be on guard duty at night. Just standing there amidst the quiet in a place with so much history. I bet it’s full of ghosts. Think of all that’s happened there

Sono da sempre i migliori soldati al Mondo Hanno storia di Fedeltà ed Eroismo che non hanno Euguali Grazie Svizzera 🇨🇭 🥀🥀🥀🇮🇹

I am an Oklahoma Military School Rabbit and Navy veteran

I am retired USA army 20 years, from 1986 to 2006, I can not think of any fighting force been around for 500 years, may be the Brits do. In the USA they always deactivate the colors , the first infantry been around since WWI, the Big Red one.

Too bad that I'm too old and not Swiss citizen...

No doubt they are performing holly job as per their faith, i surprised that a country of watchmakers has fantastic army.

🙏🌍🙏🌍🙏🌍

are there documents that review about secret soldier of the vatican goverment, iam very interested about it

Any Clue when this was filmed? Thanks

What's their export now days in realmlife? Augustine I dying

Alois Estermann is the Officer commanding the oath ceremony parade , he was murdered along with his wife by a young Guardsman (according to official findings) in the Guards quarters .

Nice Guys, the Priest's are happy.

Don't forget the swiss gard défend until the death, our King Louis XVI, against the crowd at Louvres Palace "august". 1792.God bless thème.

Please note ! Michael Angelo. Design the uniforms of the S. Army!!!!

Jesus many times walked alone always unarmed

I have to admit, & "good" Catholic I am, I had my communion in Rome at St. Peters, that I thought of Erasmus of Rotterdam, Sir Thomas More's friend, who said of Julius the Pope, he knew who he was the successor of by his chosen name. When does the warrior Pope become the vicar of Christ?

The Papal States, led by the Pope, was once an independent state with its own army. Italy at that time was divided among several independent states.

can you put the Conclave that changed the world on RU-vid yep

The word "anti" in antichrist does not mean someone who is going to be openly anti (against) Christ. That word "anti" in the original Bible language can actually mean "IN PLACE OF". So could the bible antichrist be someone who has actually put himself "in place of" Christ? Well, we have further Bible evidence to support this. In 1 John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="138">2:18</a>-19 it says that there were "many antichrists", who "WENT OUT FROM THE CHURCH". In other words, John is pointing to the fact that those "antichrists" were WITHIN THE CHURCH!! Not only that, but Paul in 2 Thess. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="123">2:3</a>-4 calls the man of sin the "son of perdition". Now there is only one other place in the Bible where the name "son of perdition" is used, and that is in John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1032">17:12</a> talking about JUDAS! And what was Judas? A professing follower of Christ Jesus. Someone who deceived from WITHIN the "church". "The leader of the Catholic church is defined by the faith as the Vicar of Jesus Christ (and is accepted as such by believers). The Pope is considered the man on earth who TAKES THE PLACE of the Second Person of the omnipotent God of the Trinity." (John Paul II, Crossing the Threshold of Hope, p. 3, 1994). "ANTI" - Christ = "IN PLACE OF" Christ!

Graet god blessed people saving the vatican and head of it the Papst.

Here, you get mowed down and see how brave you are! (My son) Pope Clemantine

I feel so very privileged to be a catholic! Traditional!.. My fade is so close to heaven!! . In times I feel I can flow in the sky 🥳🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽!..

The Lord Jesus had no army...He is The Lord of Hosts...The King of Kings...The Lord of Lords...What will it be like in His Kingdom?? We cannot imagine but we rejoice in advance...
