Pokemon Go move over, here is Jesus Christ Go.

I ain't gonna crack jokes about this stuff...I guess I'm not as confident as you lot. Y'all messed up.

well, regardless of the fact that this thing seems to be available only in Spanish so far..
talking about the Vatican..
if anyone of you ever wonders why my poor native country looks so much underdeveloped and, most of all, backwards for what concerns basically everything, starting with freedom, social rights, corruption and such..
just think that 100 years ago, Mussolini and the pope (Pius XI through his cardinal secretary of state Pietro Gasparri) signed a permanent treaty, ratified AFTER the fall of Fascism in the '40s and STILL in force, stating that:

• the Vatican city, from being a small neighborhood of central Rome, becomes an INDEPENDENT THEOCRATIC NATION (technically, an absolute theocratic elective monarchy) completely surrounded (and therefore INSIDE) Italy and not only Italy as a nation, but Rome, its capital!
• lots of buildings existing or yet to build (even private Catholic schools etc.) inside the Italian territory will become free from taxations and with extraterritorial privileges
• Italy has to pay to the Popes enormous amounts of money in order to "remedy" all that happened during the Italian unification and the abolition of the Popes' territorial power

And basically, apart from something contained in the concordat that was abolished after Mussolini's fall (minor things: Catholicism is no more the state religion but it's the only one to receive lots of privileges, Catholic religion is no more mandatory in school but it's the only religion you study, and the teachers got degrees at the Vatican's universities in theology etc., so you have to be marginalized and put out of the class and many other things), all of this is still in force today.

I've nothing against any religion, but the Vatican power and influence in Italy is still enormous through politicians, corruption, cover of any kind of crime and such. And so every "progressive" or "social" or whatever law that is enforced by every European country from Scandinavia to Germany, many Slavic countries, the UK, even Spain and so on, here can't be even debated. This is a huge reason why we're so behind most of European countries, even economically (just think about the IOR, the private Vatican bank founded in 1942 with Mussolini in power by pope Pius XII - in Spain, the Opus Dei and such were removed along with Franco from power many decades ago..).

And that's why I'm never surprised when I read such news, we Italians are accustomed to everything that can seem coming from the middle-ages at the eyes of another European. All of this goes for Italy as a whole - I'm Northern Italian, but Italy's a highly centralized nation and what is decided in Rome (i.e.: down the street from the Vatican "borders") is enforced through all the nation, local administrations can't decide anything unlike the States or even federal nations like Germany.
