I love Vatican, and Im proud to be Catholic. :)

P.S. I saw all your little Europe videos Rick, and i loved them.

Also, as a Croat, I may say that videos about Split and Dubrovnik are great too. :)

Our Current Leaders have failed us. The Rothshilds, The Vatican and their Elites abuse their Power, they're all deaf to the will of the People, they pass bills that have affect on our lives, rip away our rights& dignity . they laugh as they use their influence to gather all for themselves uncaring as they crush the average citizen in the process. and almost 80 % of the world population is still relying on a rigid believe system to give their lives a False sence of Security and Meaning....

@casedinlight The population is less than a 1000, nothing much to talk about their mate.

I'm atheist but it looks so beautiful I'd love to visit someday and the church is amazing too!

Yeah it makes perfect sense, why fund Cancer and AIDs researchers when we can spend money on larger churches?

The Catholic Church should be held responsible for the demise of most of the indigenous religions of the world. Over 2000 years the catholic mafia, composed of popes and cardinals,devised a culture-crushing machine that devastated millions of lives and even whole civilizations, from the celts to the aztecs to name a few. Christians have used military and legal institutions as well as an array of psychological tactics so as to impose christianity everywhere and rule the world.
