Vatican City

First of all, it's just the Catholic Church, not the Roman Catholic Church. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church.

Secondly, doctrine and dogma have grown, but they have not changed. It's like an infant. The little boy, Sam, is still Sam when he grows up, even though he may look much different, but he is still the same person. He may speak differently, but he still breathes, eats, etc. The Catholic Church had its entire deposit of faith closed with the death of the last apostle. Nothing more can be added, although it can be explained better and more fully. Now incidentals, like the language, have changed radically over the centuries. Originally, we usually Greek, then Latin. Latin is still the common language of the Church, but there are translations for various countries into their own language.

Still, the moral and ethical teachings. The love of God for us and the love that we need to have to God remain bedrock, and have not changed.

In Vatican II, specifically in the 1965 document "Decree on Ecumenism," the concept of limbo was not formally addressed, but the Church shifted its focus towards a more hopeful understanding of salvation. The theological speculation surrounding limbo, particularly for unbaptized infants, was deemphasized, as the Church began to emphasize God's mercy and the possibility of salvation for all souls. This change reflected a broader move towards inclusivity and the recognition of God's desire for all to be saved. Consequently, while limbo was not officially abolished, it fell out of favor in Catholic teaching.

Before Vatican II, the laity had limited involvement in the Mass, primarily participating as passive observers rather than active participants. The liturgy was conducted in Latin, and most of the responses and prayers were performed by the clergy. While laypeople could engage in certain roles, such as altar servers or lectors, their overall participation in the Mass was restricted compared to the more active role encouraged by the reforms of Vatican II. The Council emphasized greater involvement of the laity in the liturgical life of the Church.

The Vatican condemned Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses" in January 1989. The book was denounced by the Vatican for being blasphemous towards Islam and Muhammad.

Vatican City is known also as Stato della Citta del Vaticano, which is Vatican City in Italian.

In recent years most popes have been embalmed upon death. Some of them were not embalmed immediately but several days after their passing. Pope John Paul II's body was already beginning to decompose before he was embalmed and this was noted by some of those at the funeral who happened to be close to the body. The body of Pope Pius XII was not embalmed or, not properly embalmed, and he, too, was rapidly decomposing as he lay in state. The stench was so great that those soldiers guarding his body were relieved every 15 minutes. Pope John XXIII was so thoroughly preserved that nearly 40 years later when his body was exhumed to move it to a new tomb, it had not decayed at all and looked as fresh as on the day of his death.

It is located in the Northern Hemisphere.

During the early years of the Roman Empire it was brought from Egypt and was placed in the center of a Roman circus used for chariot racing on the Mons Vaticanus. It was there during the reign of Emperor Nero and would have been seen by Saint Peter when he was crucified nearby. When Saint Peter's Basilica was built the obelisk was left in place. It continues to stand in the middle of Saint Peter's Square today.

There are no rivers or canals in the Vatican.

The people in the Vatican City speak Italian. To say hello in the Italian language one says the word ciao.

The Pope lives in the Vatican. In 2014 that would be Pope Francis.

I can find no reference to it snowing in the Vatican in June. In February of 2012 it did snow there for the first time in 25 years, however.

I don't know of how many hiearchy bishops to one place, but I do know that it's a group of several individuals that are in charge of several important tasks involving not one but a few different congregations which are huge like world and nationwide. These individuals are members of a huge organization ruled by God and them. As for the Vatican Two I only know of one Vatican. I hope that answered your question.

That is a difficult position to achieve. To be a citizen of the Vatican you must be one of the following:

1.) The Pope

2.) A cardinal assigned to work in the Vatican.

3.) Certain members of the Papal Diplomatic Corps.

There are actually only about 220 citizens of the Vatican.

The Vatican City is the home of the pope and the spiritual and administrative center of the Roman Catholic Church, which has well over a billion followers.

There is a link below for more information.

The phrase "abomination of desolation" refers to Matthew 24:15 (KJV): "So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel-let the reader understand." This is referring to Daniel 9:27, "He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering.

And on a wing [of the temple] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."

In 167 B.C. a Greek ruler by the name of Antiochus Epiphanies set up an altar to Zeus over the altar of burnt offerings in the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. He also sacrificed a pig on the altar in the Temple in Jerusalem. This event is known as "The Abomination Of Desolation".

Greek Ruler,Antiochus Epiphanies setting up of an altar to Zeus over the altar of burnt offerings in the Jewish temple in Jerusalem was merely a shadow of what was to come in the future.

This shadow of things to come formula can even be seen within the Definition of Antiochus Epiphanies last name "Epiphany"..

An epiphany (from the ancient Greek "ἐπιφάνεια", epiphaneia, "manifestation, striking appearance") is the sudden realization or comprehension of the (larger) essence or meaning of something.

This is also further proof that We are all named by God before we are even in the womb.

Using The Truth Within Words formula one can link these historical facts and biblical accounts to those who are behind this future event..The Truth Within Words formula will allow you to see who sets up The Abomination That Causes Desolation,the image it will be in,and much more...

I use a secret teaching of Jesus that the world is not yet aware of.The bible teaches that Jesus is the word and the truth is inside of Him.I use this same formula to discover truths which might be hidden within our own words that we use today (in english,greek alphabet).

The Prophet Daniel talks of a great ruler who will send his army to invade a land and set up this abomination that causes desolation.Daniel Chapter11 Verse 31-32 Daniel states "His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and abolish the daily sacrifice.Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation.With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant,but the people who know their God will firmly resist him"..

The first thing one sees in this passage is "armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress".I figured the name of this army might be located within the words "The Abomination That Causes Desolation"..I unscrambled the words and found "The United States Coalition"(with only 10 letters left over that i could not unscramble at the time).. coincidence?I dont see how such a coincidence could be possible if i could do it more than once or twice.

Just write down the words "The Abomination That Causes Desolation" and circle out the letters needed to make the words "The United States Coalition"..

(THE) (A)B(O)M(I)(N)A(T)(I)(O)(N) (T)H(A)(T) (C)A(U)S(E)(S) (D)(E)(S)O(L)A(T)(I)ON = THE UNITED STATES COALITION

Yes Vatican City has a president, Giuseppe Bertello, for the legislative part of the government.

The goals of the Second Vatican Council, as enumerated by Pope John XXIII when he opened the Council, including making the message of the Gospel more accessible to people, it included a real effort to reach out to both our separated brethren, the protestants, with whom we had been at odds because we were still treating them like their heretic ancestors whohad denied the faith and left the Church that Christ founded. We had to accept that modern day protestants have not left the Church and are trying to follow Jesus Christ as much as their religion allows them to. The Church also made a real effort to reach out to the non-Christian people in the love of Christ and preach the Gospel. Unfortunately, this message got garbled early on, and the many in the Church made many mistakes, it is only in the twenty-first century that we are finally starting to recover what the Second Vatican Council really thought and taught, and recover our faith so that we have something worthwhile to reach out to others with.

Yes, Vatican City is a city. The Vatican is a small area set aside in the city of Rome and it the seat of the Catholic church. It is where the Pope resides and does his business for the people of his church. It is mainly made up of St. Peter's Church, the gardens of the pope, the Vatican museum's, the Sistine Chapel, and the offices related to the governance of the church. It has it's own security and guards. There are other parts of the Vatican beyond the small area where it is located such as Castel Gandolfo.
