Best Answer

The Papal Knighthood ( there are or were various grades of nobility) was purely honorary and not a real title of nobility. One should not confuse the idea of a Papal Knight with the on occasion armored Swiss Guards, who are members of the Swiss Army and in fact a special unit. there are plainclothes men also and they do carry issue SIG * Swiss Industry association, roughly) Automatic pistols- and know how to use them. No US citizen can receive a Title of Nobility though this has been waived for some Presidents ( Sir Ronald Reagan ) and ore recently Edward Kennedy.
