Swiss Guard Commandant Daniel Anrig (L) walks with Archbishop Fernando Filoni while commemorating the date on which 147 Swiss soldiers died defending the Pope during the "Sack of Rome" in 1527, at the Vatican May 6, 2009. After more than five centuries protecting popes, the Swiss Guard may consider opening the ranks of the world's smallest army to women, its commander said on May 5, 2009. Anrig's remarks could represent a major change in position regarding the future of the elite corps composed entirely of 19- to 30-year-old Catholic men hailing from the Swiss Army. Reuters
