For perspective.

“According to the most recent legislation on the matter, the 2011 law promulgated by Pope Benedict XVI, you can only become a citizen either by law or by administrative decision. Citizenship by law is only granted to three classes of persons: Cardinals residing in Vatican City or in Rome; diplomats of the Holy See; and people who reside in Vatican City by reason of office or service, e.g. the Swiss Guard.

Citizenship by administrative decision can be requested in three situations: (1) people who are not citizens but are residing in Vatican City and whose office or service suggests they should, (2) people who have papal authorization to reside in Vatican City, but don't qualify under the other conditions listed here, and (3) spouses and children of current citizens, who are also residents.

To put all this in perspective, there are currently about 800 residents of Vatican City and about 450 of them are citizens. About half of the citizens do not live in the Vatican, mostly because they are diplomatic personnel living in countries around the world.”

MSG Dan Castaneda - understand that. I was raised Catholic but gave it up because of all the hypocrisy. Why I said about a billion. There’s a lot more than that and many like you. I don’t give a hoot what the pope says just commenting that many Catholics do actually care.

It's sad because instead of focusing on how well refugees are treated in the United States..........and they are treated a lot better than U.S. Citizens are in the inner city. He should be focusing on what is driving the immigration to the United States by criticizing the absolute corruption of governments South of our Border..........which BTW, the Catholic Church has far more influence in than they do within the United States. Fix the countries South of our border and this quickly becomes a non-issue.
