  • 109 acres... Does that include Castel Gandolfo and the various embassies? They're Vatican territory, too.
  • The Vatican, though the smallest state in the world is the most powerful control center. It controls more than 1 Billion Catholics - not by force but by willing obedience! It does not have tanks and battle-ships but it conquered the hearts of a billion plus people by the Word of God. The catholic institutions run the most number of charities in the world for the poor and abandoned people on earth. Whatever wrongs it might have commited through the ages, all those wrongs have been washed away by the good things it has performed over the ages!
  • i am interested to watch the beauty of yhe city
  • Vatican is the most incredible place on hearth. When you go there you meet people from all over the world and feel that this is the heart of the world. I am so sorry for those people who see the Catholic Church as a human invention and have mean words toward us. We still love you and pray for you so that you can experience peace and joy that only come from the Cross of Christ. Love alsways wins...think..Jesus came despite our human limits and gave us some people who left behind everything to witness that only God suffices in life..is not it amazing? I know what you think about scandals...so what? But think also to great accomplishment of special people called saints....I mean it is too easy to accuse...every single baptized is called to become saint...(the person God wants me to be) and I can witness I have met great example of priesthood and other less good....but my model is ultimately Christ and the human mediation helps me to keep focused..we help eachothers...I greet the great Protestant brothers and sisters and say if you can...come home, we miss you! And thank you for your zele and faith. We love you.
  • Beautiful City, but I can't imagine, how such a little city became an independent state!!! This rewally is great! I hope to visit it some time...
  • As a country, Vatican City does not have any resources to offer. No country will be interested to maintain relationship with country that has nothing, since it won't get any benefit. However, more than 100 nations are willingly to maintain diplomatic relationship with Vatican City. Why? The main reason is because the figure of its head of state which is the pope who is also the supreme head of Roman Catholic Church. And also, the Vatican City is where the central administration of Roman Catholic Church is located. And it is estimated that there are about 1 billion Roman Catholics throughout the world.
  • What a lovely place is this. Hope that I can trvel here someday. :0)
