No, the Vatican is the home of the Pope, who is head of the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church wasn't happy. For a thousand years they had controlled government and society. They were the connection between man and God. The idea that man could seek God for himself was against the church doctrine. They were loosing control.
Unfortunately, the Church has little control over the name Catholic and it is hijacked all the time by groups that are NOT in union with Rome and, therefore, not truly Catholic. A few examples: The American Catholic Church, The American Charismatic Catholic Church, the Polish National Catholic Church. Calling oneself something does not make it so.
The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church and has no place in government.
Roman Catholic AnswerJan Hus was NOT executed by the Catholic Church. He was given a trial by the Church and condemned as a heretic, deposed from his functions as a priest, etc. and then turned over to the civil government. The Civil government executed him as a traitor.
The Catholic Church has never supported the Fascists, Nazis or Communists. The Church tends to support democratic forms of government today.
