Malta was absolutely pivitol to the survival of the West in 1565. Without the astonishing bravery of the 500 Knights of St John defending the island, Suleiman and his 40, 0000 jihadis would have been able to use the island as a launchpad to invade Sicily and then easily invade his main target, Rome, the Vatican and then the whole of Europe.
It's one of the greatest, and most unlikely, military victories in all of recorded history, and an incredible story for those interested in military, maritime or siege history.
This Pope seems to hate Catholics and their history.

Isn't there a group to this day called the Knights of Malta?
Yes, same organization.
Nowadays they let in 40,000 muslim invaders and think that those are rookie numbers.
Sadly, yes. That's what joining the EU does for a country.
He is not Catholic, that much cannot be denied at this point.
