[edit] Anti-Catholic Article, with very little sources.
This article contains very little references, while some of the information may not be accurate at all such as: "It is not known what the age of consent is in the city, but it is probably 18." (also Vatican City is NOT a city but a SOVEREIGN STATE!)
Also, the article seems to be used as a "stab" at the Church. Information included in the article have no relation to Vatican City, the nation or government but rather the rules or procedures of the Catholic Church. An example: "In 2005 The Vatican government enacted a new policy that stipulated that gay or bisexual men would no longer be eligible to enter the Seminary and the Holy Orders." Not only is there no source, but also such matter is within the Church not Vatican City government.
The article should either be cleaned up, and neutralized, or completely removed. Jyoz 03:55, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] No "anti-catholicism" - all information verified
The Vatican is a city AND a state. Thank Mussolini for that. This article reports just factual information. If you see it as a "stab" to the Catholic Church, then you are the only anti-Catholic here. As for the "Instruction etc." you can find all the sources of the case in the relative Wikipedia article. Also, the Vatican government IS the Church. Again, thank Mussolini for this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.1.124.119 (talk) 01:42, 28 April 2007 (UTC).
- I think what the previous poster meant with regard to the Church's policy on gay seminarians etc. is that it is not in any way specific to the Vatican and therefore belongs in the article on Catholic attitudes to homosexuality, not in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.146.18.21 (talk) 01:10, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Furthermore, you can't claim "all information verified" when that "probably" is still in there. Is it 18 or isn't it? We need precision and we need citations.
