Jesus told his apostles to sell their cloaks and buy swords. They came back and he asked how many among them. The answer was two daggers. Jesus said that was enough. We see later why he wanted the daggers along. When Peter used his on Jesus's arresting guard, Jesus commanded him to sheath it, thus disarming all soldiers with the teaching "he who lives by the sword dies by the sword".

Jesus taught to get rid of your sword.

Here's Hippolytus to clarify what the original church rules were on such things, because it's what Jesus taught in crystal clarity.

Also, I'd like to add that before the Nicene council, that church, the original one, has absolutely nothing to do with the Catholic church that was created in the 4th century. Pic related is the OG church.

The actual Catholic Church of today was created mostly in Europe after its spread.
