The Jesuits are a religious order of priests within the Catholic Church as opposed to secular (parish or diocesan) priests who belong to no particular religious order.
No, Vatican City is distinct and independent country totally surrounded by the city of Rome. Rome is a part of Italy, the Vatican is not.
Vatican City is not called the Holy See. Vatican City is the home and headquarters for the Holy See - the governance of the Catholic Church. The name derives from the Latin Sancta Sedes - Holy Seat and is the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Catholic Church in Rome, the episcopal see of the Bishop of Rome—the Pope.
Jesuits are one order within the Roman Catholic Church. not all RC priests are Jesuits but all Jesuit priests are Roman Catholic.

It is the same with the flag of the Vatican.
No. The former is in France, the latter in Rome (Vatican City to be precise)
Before the Vatican became an independent country in 1929 the pope lived in the same place as today but it was part of Rome, Italy.
People live in the Vatican much ths same as people live in the rest of the world. They have jobs in the Vatican and live in rented housing within the city. There are few stores in the Vatican so most shop in Rome for their needs.
Even if they did, their vow of obedience and the threat of sanctions would likely prevent them from saying so, since the Catholic Church does not permit same-sex marriage.Catholic AnswerAlthough there have been some Jesuits who have, individually, come out as supporting "same-sex marriage", this is an impossibility for the Jesuit Order as Catholic theology and natural law both teach that "same-sex marriage" is contrary to the natural law and a mortal sin. As Jesuits are priests of the Catholic Church and ordained to preach the truth to people, they are hardly in a position to support something so antithetical to the truth and to basic Christian teaching.

Between 900 and 1200 there was not much change in the church. The only church was the Catholic Church and governed by the pope in Rome (Vatican). After 1200 the pope (counterpope) has resided in Avignon for a short time, but the dogmas were still the same. The big reformation was started by Martin Luther (not King) and soon followed by Zwingli, Calvin and a Scottish reformer of whom I don't seem to be able to recall the name. But that was in the 1500's.
