    I was visiting the Vatican when this happened. to say it was a surprise is an understatement. I think it's easy to forget that behind these colorful uniforms are men who are just as fragile and as human as the rest of us. great job with the analysis, Dr. Grande!

    The witty mention of the DMV and waiting in line brought back memories of the massive lines waiting to get into the Vatican and St. Peters Cathedral. Traveler tip; buy your Vatican tickets online and have priority. I was able to see the Sistine Chapel with just a handful of others around. Also, get to St. Peters before it opens, before dawn and wait with the nuns and priests on pilgrimage. I stood before Michelangelo's Pieta for several minutes by myself. I'm not even Catholic and it was magnificent. Later in the day the line was six people deep for blocks.

      I was blessed to visit the Vatican in the early 70s. I was an adolescent. I love history and art and more than anything Jesus. I too stood in front of La Pieta and I got emotional looking at the reminder of Jesus' death. I also got to see the Sistine Chapel before it was restored; the colors were darker and richer. I haven't been back but I have seen pics of the Sistine Chapel after the restoration and they are bright but I liked it the "natural" way.

      @@thespia Yes we did this as well ... however, I was also interested in a spending time with the Raphael frescoes ... The School of Athens/ Socrates stanzia and wished I'd spent just a few more moments there before darting off to the Sistine Chapel. I tried to go back but, it was packed and impossible to move against the flow. Nevertheless, an indelible experience. In the Sistine Chapel I did have some audio explanation and was able to experience it all the more. I thought I might have been distracting. .

    Youch - I had an ex I'm pretty sure was a vulnerable narcissist. Always stressed, doggedly focused on their job and duties and really quite good at it, but somehow always a victim not being recognized for their efforts. I believed her stories and saw her as someone trying to do their best but getting unfairly rejected. When we broke up, she seemed to switch personalities and said things that were just off the rails, calling me a murderer and a drunk, and that was really the first time I started to wonder if her version of reality might be tinged with delusion.
    The description of how these narcissists find enemies based on their permanent victim status, then convince themselves that anything they do is justified, suddenly made me very glad things ended when they did.

      Usually when someone is disciplined (in any organization) they are handed the punishment. Not here. This was a setup of a surprise very public humiliation with a good chance that the Guard would react in the ceremony further adding to the grief.

      Maybe it wasn't just the minor infraction. It sure looks like the young man was having an affair with the good commander's wife. In the long tradition of "don't get your pie where you get your paycheck," Maybe the whole withholding the meddle thing was just the commander getting the guard back. That's actually understandable.

      It’s true. There’s a whole recruitment process that qualified applicants need to follow. The Swiss guards date back to a time when mercenaries was one of then-poor Switzerland main exports. I suppose that the terms of the 500 year old agreement have been many times updated, but the basic deal remains the same. I believe it’s the only exception to the status of neutrality to which Swiss citizens are bound. No Swiss person can actively hold arms on behalf of another state without going to prison upon their return to Switzerland.

Like when a man sitting right across from me behind the driver of a bus on Sunday got arrested by 4 policemen who were carrying larger than pistols guns. They seemed to come from out of no where just before all 4 boarded the bus in a hurry after a lot of passengers including me had started wondering why the bus was sitting at a stop for so long. I sure went to the back of the bus in a hurry after they said to him, "You are under arrest".

      Some quotes from an article written August 18 about the preliminary report:
      According to a preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), before he jumped, Crooks became noticeably distressed after damaging the craft's landing gear during a failed runaway approach. The plane's pilot-in-command said that Crooks "became visibly upset about the hard landing" soon after they diverted to another airport.”
      About 20 minutes into the diversion to RDU, Crooks stopped communicating with air traffic controllers, the report said. He opened his side cockpit window at 3,500 feet and "may have gotten sick."
      Crooks then lowered the ramp in the back of the airplane, saying he felt ill and needed air, "got up from his seat, removed his headset, apologized, and departed the airplane via the aft ramp door," the report said.

    I was raised Catholic and this had me in stitches. Of all the figures I’ve been familiar with in the church (besides the Holy Trinity), this Pope has been my favorite. I may not agree with all the beliefs of the church, but the Pope has been someone who seems to champion collaboration, solving really bad situations with diplomacy not weapons, inclusiveness (to be a degree), protection and elevation of all God’s creation. The pomp and circumstance is not what he seems to relish- it’s the blood, sweat, and tears of doing the Lord’s work. He’s been involved, visible, a proponent of peace, gentle, piously pithy, respectful, moral, and very nicely represents the churches role as he reaches out in service to others. The guard are very impressive, honorable, peaceful (okay, this guy slipped up), brave, and reverent. It’s a sight to see! I’m not a member of the church anymore for personal reasons but I respect the faith of others and I know enough about it to speak with some foundation. This was an unexpected treat.

I also recall a visit to Vatican City many years ago, during which my wife and I, in error, ventured down into a portion of the city forbidden to tourists. We were immediately stopped by the Swiss Guards (indeed, with crossed halberds!). What was odd is that they spoke to me in Swiss German, which is not understandable by many Germans! I voiced my apologies in my best "Zürchertüütsch" and went on my way,
