Swiss guards..

Just as an aside, I never really got the Swiss Guard. I mean, I thought the Swiss were practically the founders of Protestantism, so could never get my head round them being the Pope's bodyguard. Have I got this wrong?  :

Still, I guess mercenaries don't have much time for questions of doctrine when there's a big bag of cash in the offing.

In fact some of the more rural cantons in Switzerland are catholic. So are the swiss guards.

That would make more sense, really. Thanks for the info!
