Swans can break a man's arm. We all know that.
If people found out that swans broke the Pope's arm, they'd realise he was just a man and not a divine being.
Swans are terrible braggarts and will boast about the smallest thing.
Swans must die to protect the Catholic church.
Perhaps Queeny will help, perhaps not...


The "breaking a man's arm" thing? Bird have hollow bones - the swan would shatter before the man would.

True Story:
My GF's folks live at the back of a field, one day they spotted some (what could only be) city kids strolling through said field, now it gets a bit wet in the winter and it was March and there were a pair of nesting swans in the boggy stretch... About 10 minutes later there was an almighty hooting, the big kid then picked his brother up, threw him under his arm and sprinted for the exit as he was pursued by a very angry looking male swan...

However... imagine Henry VIII gently spinning in his grave as Big Liz gives the Pope a hand against his beloved Swans (he liked them in pies) 100% of fact:)
