	Vatican City - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vatican City — formally State of the Vatican City, or Vatican City State (Latin: Status Civitatis Vaticanæ and Italian: Stato della Città del Vaticano) — is a sovereign landlocked enclave surrounded by Rome, Italy.
		Vatican City is considered a non-hereditary elective monarchy with a sovereign that wields absolute authority.
		The Vatican City, one of the European microstates, is situated on the Vatican Hill in the north-western part of Rome, several hundred metres west of the Tiber river, on the latter's right bank.

		Vatican -> History The history of the Vatican as a papal residence dates from the 5th cent., when, after Emperor Constantine I had built the basilica of St. Peter's, Pope Symmachus built a palace nearby.

	Vatican coins
		The coinage of coins from the Vatican is strictly related to the temporal power of the Popes, started with the Papal States from 754 to 1870, and followed by the State of the Vatican City up to now.

	The Secret of the Vatican-Print Version
		If the Vatican really owned--and controlled-- these Panamian shell companies, it might appear that it had used them to attain secret control over strategic banking and media corporations in Italy-- and, under the assumption they were untraceable, didn't repay their loans.
		But the Vatican insisted that their ownership was only nominal, and Calvi and others used its name for their own purposes.
		Contrary to myth, the Vatican had insufficient resources to pay for all the needs of modern life--pensions for its nuns, hospital care for its employees, multi-language press and radio operations, re-training its Swiss Guard to cope with world tourists, and international travel for its Nuncios and other ambassadors.

		This was completely legal since the Vatican is a sovereign state, unrestricted by the laws of Italy on anyone else.
		Since the Vatican ownership of these the companies was supposed to be an irretrievable secret, written only in one sealed document in Luxumburg, no one would be able to hold it responsible.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Vatican as a Scientific Institute
		The Vatican Library is the first among the great libraries of the world in the importance of its materials, but in the number of its manuscripts a few libraries surpass it, and in the number of printed books it is surpassed by many.
		The title of "Scriptor of the Vatican Library" has been held by such men as Giovanni de Rossi, Mariano Rampolla del Tindaro, Stevenson, and many others, and is to-day borne by such world-famous scholars as Mercati, Franchi de' Cavalieri, Vatasso, etc. The annual budget of the library is the ridiculously small sum of 6000 dollars.
		The assertions that the Vatican Library was the property not of the Church or of the Holy See, but of the late Papal States, were meant to prepare the way for the eventual seizure of the library, or at least its withdrawal from the operation of the Law of Guarantees.

	VATICAN ASKS COURT, U.S. GOVERNMENT TO DISMISS LAWSUIT OVER NAZI GOLD
		A class action filed in November, 1999 accuses the Vatican of colluding with the Swiss National Bank and the Franciscan Order in concealing hundreds of millions of dollars in gold and assets stolen by the Croatian Nazi Ustashi (Ustasha) regime between 1941-1945.
		Supporting the Vatican's filing is a "Verbal Note" from the Holy See's Secretary of State posted at http://www.vaticanbankclaims.com/vatsec.htm which acknowledges the San Francisco case and a similar suit in Los Angeles, and cites diplomatic immunity.
		Along with an estimated $85 million contribution to establish the bank, the Mussolini government declared church properties outside of the Vatican City limits to be tax exempt; and all Vatican Bank investments were tax free as well, a practice which despite the efforts of subsequent Italian governments remains in force to this day.

	Under His Very Windows
		Vatican opinion was obviously never monolithic, and no single individual, not even a pope, could impose his views on the entire Church hierarchy.
		To many, and especially to the older priestly diplomats and bureaucrats who had made their careers in the Vatican and were in positions of authority during the years of Fascism and the Second World War, a restoration of that ideal world appeared as a desirable and perhaps even possible objective.
		Vatican officials, in turn, remained silent when two Fascist thugs beat the priest Giovanni Minzoni to death near the town of Argenta, in the Province of Ferrara, in August 1923.

	After Vatican II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		George Reber’s book, ‘The Christ of Paul,’ argues that in 64 A.D. Peter was in Babylon writing the epistles and letters to Rome and in the reign of Nero he either died a martyr or in his bed, Peter probably had nothing to do with the foundation of the Roman Church.

		Israel must respond by requesting that the Vatican return all Jewish properties that were stolen from the Temple —Ronen, Haifa.
		I also suggest that we end negotiations for the sites that the Vatican says it owns, and that they start by returning the price for the various weapons—spears, arrows, and swords—that the Christians planted in the bodies of the children of the Jewish people over many years.

	What does the word Vatican mean?
		In the fourteenth century, when the papacy was returned to Rome from Avignon (France), the present-day Vatican became the residence of the popes, and the word came to refer to the enclave in the middle of Rome that had become the seat of the Roman Catholic Church.
		The Vatican City is the seat of the Roman Catholic Church, and since the Lateran Concordat of 1929 it is also an independent country, the epitome of Church and State combined.
		The Vatican (STATO DELLA CITTÁ DEL VATICANO), which means City-State of prophecy, is the woman of Revelation 17, Jezebel, the apostate harlot, the mother universal church, the persecutor of the saints that sits on seven hills in Rome and claims authority over the kings of the earth.

	THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS Vatican Politics, the Calvi Murder and Beyond...
		It formally recognized the sovereignty of the Vatican state, officially declared Roman Catholicism the state religion, nominally called for the papacy to remain neutral in international affairs, and made financial compensation for claims arising from the confiscation of papal lands.
		For numerous reasons, the Vatican was highly suspicious of the Masonic lodges which it saw as fertile breading ground for heretical discussion and ideas, and there have been numerous Papal declarations and Bulls excoriating the Masonic movement, rendering it off limits to Roman Catholics.
		The Vatican and Calvi had made fortunes from Sindona and there mutual associations; for instance in one transaction, in 1971, the Vatican sold to Roberto Calvi’s group 37.4% of the stock, and received the equivalent in today’s dollars of $1.15 billion.

		Both sides agreed to further negotiations with a view to implementing the decisions, "allocating three whole days of conversations in March and April in the hope of concluding at least the essential part of the said negotiations," explained Father David Jaeger, an expert in juridical questions of the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land.
