Popes do not need prisons or capital punishment to protect themselves, because they have Swiss Guard snipers to protect themselves.
A fellow Catholic told me that St. Pope John Paul II wanted his attempted assassin pardoned and let out of prison, three days after the attack. I responded, "Even with the Pope’s armed Swiss Guards, don’t you think it would be very dangerous for the Pope never to imprison or capital punish, dangerous criminals, but to simply allow them to wander around the Vatican?" My fellow Catholic responded, “Well Popes are not going to let dangerous murderers, rapists and child abusers loose in the Vatican! The Pope will find somewhere else to pardon and release his dangerous convicted criminals.” I responded, “How do you think the people are going to feel, when their children are being murdered, raped and tortured by the dangerous criminals, whom Popes are dumping out in their backyard, because Popes feel it is too dangerous for Popes to be dumping dangerous criminals out of prison and into their own backyard, the Vatican?”
