Vatican City has an autonomous government, complete with a national currency, post office and flag. The Catholic pope resides here as both a political and religious leader. The Catholic Church desires the maintenance of this state so that no nation may claim the pope for its own and thus attempt to influence or control the Church via political means.

The Pope of the Catholic Church is Francis, no matter where you live.Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Archbishop of Buenos Aires, became the 266th pope on March 13, 2013, succeeding Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI).
