Although the Holy See is closely associated with the State of the Vatican City, the independent, sovereign state governed by the Holy See, the two entities are separate and distinct.
The Holy See administers the Vatican City, including all diplomatic functions; foreign embassies are accredited to the Holy See rather than to the Vatican City, and the Holy See establishes diplomatic agreements ("Concordats") with other sovereign states, on behalf both of itself and of the Vatican City (as appropriate).
Because the Holy See comprises more than simply the Pontificate, it does not dissolve upon the death or resignation of the reigning Pope; in contrast, the heads of the dicasteries of the Roman Curia (such as the prefects of congregations) cease to hold office immediately upon the Pope's death.

 HOLY GRAIL IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH
So let us first of all be honest with ourselves and see if we have experienced enough despair over the quest for an objective overview/perspective on human evolution, which would explain to us our very origin, our misdirected development and our total present-day derailment.
Thus today one sees the teachings of all those wise men, who were already Forerunners of the Word of Truth Itself, such as Krishna, Zoroaster, Lao-Tse, Buddha and Mohammed, appearing in a completely strange form, so that their contents likewise differ from what those Prophets themselves taught in their time.
Also, the discoveries of the structure and the radiating properties of the atom make it possible for us now to absorb the new explanations from out of the Truth, which describe the natural processes of genesis, evolution, redemption and the Last Judgment in exact terms, instead of in metaphorical pictures.
