what a joke that Vatican is they protect pedophiles and have untold wealth, they are accountable to no one.

Alison , Pontifical was your first clue.

Player #25874027, says whom, God?

Alison , how is this a trick question?

what about "Papal Guard" then?

mackerounski, Couldn't agree more....sickening

Player #25874027, No evidence that there is one.

buildings in Vatican control are outside the declared borders . I think it fails the independence test. if the citizens changed their government structure , eg to an atheist parliament, would Italy accept that ? No. as soon as it wasn't pope and Catholics , then Italy would say the government buildings are Italian owned.

Pontiff- Vatican City? Duh.

Daedalus, aye!

JezzerLX, The Vatican is a country not a state, it has its own currency, leader,army,stamps and democracy just because its surrounded by another country. If that's the case what about Liechtenstein

jezzerLX IS CORRECT. that again is a city-state. It is located within the country of Italy.
