Vatican City

Tourists discounted, Vatican City has a l00% adult population, a zero birth rate, and chalk it up to the celibacy laws. Most of the permanent residents of the Vatican are members of the clergy assigned to work there, members of the Swiss Guard, members of the diplomatic corps and some employees of the Vatican.

No, the Vatican is tiny, the smallest country in the world.

The chief reforms in the church from the second Vatican Council were: the use of the vernacular language instead of Latin in the Holy Mass; the church tabernacle displaced from the central aisle and the usage of revised Eucharistic prayers in the church. There were the direct reforms.

His papacy began on 16th October 1978 and it ended on 2nd April 2005. He was a pope for more than two and a half decades.

The Vatican assets cannot be calculated because the Church is very good at keeping its secrets. The Vatican owns in Italy 20-22% of the total real estate! We are talking several billions euros and in Italy only. Nobody knows exactly how much the IOR (the Vatican Bank) is worth because its activity covered by secret, protected by the italian laws.

No, it is a monarchy ruled by the Bishop of Rome, namely the Pope.

You may find the entire list of decrees from the First Vatican Council at the link below. The Council issued a Dogmatic Constitution on the Catholic Faith, which included God, the creator of all things, on revelation, on faith, on faith and reason. Finally, it addressed the permanence of the primacy of the Blessed Peter in the Roman pontiffs, the power and character of the primacy of the Roman Pontiff, the infallible teaching authority of the Roman Pontiff, and a full definition of Papal infallibility.

Vatican City is the Papal State, an independent city-state located in Rome, Italy. The actual Papal States cesed to exist in the 19th century witht he reunification of Italy.

The Vatican is 110 acres or 0.17 square miles.

First of all, there is no "Roman" Catholic Church. "Roman" Catholic is a slur term first popularized in England after the protestant revolt. The leader of the Catholic Church is God, specifically His Son, Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, who sent the Holy Spirit to guide the Church until the end of time. His appointed Vicar on earth is the Pope, the first of which was St. Peter (see Matthew 16:17-19) and the current successor of whom, is Francis.

Roughly 500,000 in the square during an Easter mass or an election of a new Pope, or any other important event. However, the streets outside the square are often filled during these events as well, and can add up to about 4 million people all together, both inside the square and in the streets surrounding it. During the election of Pope Benedict XVI, almost 3.4 million attended the square and the surrounding areas within 24 hours. Within the basilica itself, roughly there is seating for 60,000 people, but only 25,000 are allowed in for safety concerns.

The Gendarmerie Corps of Vatican City State (Italian: Corpo della Gendarmeria dello Stato della Città del Vaticano) is the gendarmerie, or police and security force, of Vatican City. The Swiss Guard is the personal body guard of the Pope.

The Basilica of Saint Peter is a monument to the first pope - Saint Peter - who is buried under the basilica. It is used for special occasions - the canonization of saints, the funerals of popes, Christmas Midnight Mass, etc. It is not the church of the Pope. The Church of the Pope as the bishop of Rome is the Basilica of Sant John Lateran in Rome.

You're presuming that there are such, which may not be warranted.

Peter was often called "the apostle with the foot-shaped mouth", and several of his failings are illuminated for all to see within the gospels and the book of Acts. If the Vatican is trying to hide these from the world, they're doing a spectacularly bad job of it, and one might suggest that putting them in black and white in your own holy book is a singularly odd way of attempting to hide something.

However, we have very little historical data on Simon-called-Peter, and any supposed "big sins" would be as poorly attributed as other data like, for example, the name of his wife. The burden of proof would be on anyone claiming that he had "big sins", and there simply is no proof of any beyond those explictly or implicitly set out in scripture.

Bernini built them and the rest of St Peter's Square

The word SEE in the title of the Pope as the "Holy See" means he is the successor of Saint Peter, is head of the Catholic Church, and also refers to the fact that he is the Bishop of Rome ('See' can be another name for bishopric/diocese).
