VaticanThe Vatican & the Holy SeeVatican City State, the world's smallest sovereign state, was established by the Lateran Treaty of 1929 so the Pope can exercise his ministry freely. The Holy See is the Pope's governing authority; the Roman Curia, organised in dicasteries, helps him in the service of the universal Church. Vatican News and L'Osservatore Romano are its media.Open · translate to any language
