| | 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. |

| | In 1984, a new concordat between the Holy See and Italy modified certain provisions of the earlier treaty, including the position of Catholicism as the Italian state religion. | | | However, it is the Holy See that is the legal body that conducts diplomatic relations for the Vatican City in addition to the Holy See's usual diplomacy, entering into international agreements and both receives and sends diplomatic representatives. | | | It is the sovereign territory of the Holy See and the location of the Apostolic Palace—the Pope's official residence—and the Roman Curia. |

| | Blogcritics.org: Lauryn Hill blasts Vatican audience |
| | She has made no difference because she is certainly not the first to tell the vatican this, she is definitely not the most influential to tell them this, and she wont be the last to tell them this. | | | I see the vatican as the head of the Catholic church but authority to me comes from God. | | | If you go to mass, the fact that the priest might be a pedophile does not tarnish the sacred nature of the mass you have attended, it tarnishes the priest and the priest alone. |
