| | Vatican City - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It is administered by the Holy See, the ecclesiastical seat of the Roman Catholic Church and its Eastern Rites. | | | The term "Holy See" refers to the composite of the authority, jurisdiction, and sovereignty vested in the Pope and his advisors to direct the worldwide Roman Catholic Church. | | | It is supposed that this originally uninhabited part of Rome (the ager vaticanus) had always been considered sacred, even before the arrival of Christianity. |

| | McInerny - What Went Wrong With Vatican II |
| | Recalling the Church's previous councils, the Pope said that Vatican II was called to reaffirm the teaching role of the Church in the world. | | | But surely, as Vatican II urges, it should be the mark of Catholics that they take on the mind and heart of the Church and show gratitude for God's great gift of the Magisterium. | | | Consequently, the teachings of the Second Vatican Council are the official teachings of the Church. |

| | Pope Benedict XVI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It was noted by Vatican watchers that the practice of delegating prominent functions enjoyed by the late John Paul II would become the norm for Benedict XVI, who seems to prefer the duties of Church manager as opposed to having more of a public face. | | | He presided over the funeral of John Paul II and also over the Mass immediately preceding the 2005 conclave in which he was elected, in which he called on the assembled cardinals to hold fast to the doctrine of the faith. | | | The church declared his virtues in 1983, and John Paul gave him the title "venerable" in 1997 after the church ruled that an electrician in Brazil had been miraculously cured of an illness in 1954 after prayers were directed to him. |

| | Vatican City (Holy See) |
| | Vatican II, as it is called, revolutionized some of the church's practices. | | | The new accord affirmed the independence of Vatican City but ended a number of privileges that the Catholic Church had in Italy, including its status as the state religion. | | | The Lateran Treaty of Feb. 11, 1929, between the Vatican and the kingdom of Italy, established the autonomy of the Holy See. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Vatican |
| | The Vatican must be regarded as the administrative centre of the Catholic Church, since it is the residence of the supreme head of that Church, and from it the whole Church is governed. | | | Consequently, all action of the Italian authorities must stop at the gates of the Vatican; the inhabitants of the palace cannot be taxed, subp naed, or summoned to defend themselves. | | | All consignments directed expressly to the administration of the palace are duty-free, and all letters addressed to the pope from Italy require no stamps. |

| | Wayne Teasdale: Interreligious Dialogue Since Vatican II |
| | Vatican II had an openness to and sensitivity towards diversity or pluralism, though its identity and focus were firmly Christian. | | | This secretariat (whose name was changed to the Council for Interreligious Dialogue in the reorganization of the Vatican government in 1989) has exerted enormous influence on the church's attitude towards the other world religions. | | | The church, recognizing this in the monastic call, and realizing the contemplative nature of Asian faiths, asked Benedictines and Cistercians in Europe to accept responsibility for dialogue with Asian religions, that is, with their contemplative representatives. |

| | Short History |
| | Vatican City is the physical or territorial base of the Holy See, almost a pedestal upon which is posed a much larger and unique independent and sovereign authority/rule: that of the Holy See. | | | Basically, the term "Holy See" refers to the supreme authority of the Church, that is the Pope as Bishop of Rome and head of the college of Bishops. | | | And it is the Holy See which is represented by the Delegations accredited by the Secretariat of State to international organizations. |

| | THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS Vatican Politics, the Calvi Murder and Beyond... |
| | When you mention the Vatican, most people instinctively think of a religious institution, the Roman Catholic Church, when in fact the Vatican is really the latest incarnation of something known as the Papal States, Pontifical States or States of the Church. | | | Freemasonry grew out of the old stonemason guilds of the middle ages, and in the 18th century was generally identified with notions such as religious tolerance, political republicanism, and an emphasis on universal brotherhood and standards of truth. | | | There were Catholic resistance undergrounds in France and Germany, but the church leadership, especially in the early days of the war, may well have considered some fascist movements as the “lesser of two evils” in the fight against atheistic communism. |
