Christina was a CATHOLIC who bankrupted PROTESTANT Sweden from within, and then bailed.... this is exactly what CATHOLIC Bloody Mary did to PROTESTANT England 100 years earlier. I find it difficult to fathom that Protestants are this dumb that they don't get it. Catholics get to laugh at me... but I'm not sure why. Only Catholics think apparently.

She was a catholic after she left sweden, and not a very good one at that. Her 'bankrupting' of sweden was the fault of her own personal excess and sod all to do with her religion (Johnny Copper 12:58, 28 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Gay icons?

Why was she in category:gay icons? I removed the category. /81.170.235.234 15:58, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

She is considered a Gay icon for a variety of reasons - read the article. She is suspected to have been born intersexed (meaning not entirely female or male but somehwere in between), was teated as a boy by her father and dressed as a man. She was bisexual as an adult. She refused to marry and pursued an independent life that women of her time could scarce consider. Only her postion and wealth permitted her to live that way. She as portrayed on screen y anohter Gay icon, Greta Garbo. So you see, the LGTB has many reasons to claim her as an icon.Lisapollison 17:09, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Squadrones volantes?

What the f***k are "squadrones volantes"? Never heard of some "mobile trouble-shooting unit" of the Vatican's in early modern times!! From the linguistic point of view, this is neither latin (as it may have been dressed up to look like) nor italian nor french. Could the contributor please specify on that, and could all who feel responsible for the article please try to figure this out? I will make no changes, because I'm really not sure, just very little confident on this particular information. User:Reminiscor 14:36, 16 Mar 2006 (CET)

it's the Squadrone Volante and wasn't an 'mobile trouble- shooting unit' it was more or less a faction in the vatican during Christina's time there, one of their major ideologies was to oppose Papal Nepotism. I've removed the sentence in question as utter gibberish, until I can thonk of something better to replace it with.(Johnny Copper 10:44, 30 April 2006 (UTC))
