Fun Facts

    *  The Pope's nicknames are Supreme Pontiff, The Bishop of Rome, the Vicar Christ, and The Servant of the Servants of God.
    *  Vatican City's main languages are Latin, and French.
    *  It wasn't until 553 C.E. that the pope got to choose his actual name as a pope. This rule was made by Pope John Paul I because he thought that his original name, Marius would be disrespectful to God as it is a name of an ancient Roman God.
    *  The largest building in Vatican City is one-thousand rooms-full! This is just as big as the White House!
    *  Even though the Pope rules Vatican City, and as some argue the whole Catholic World, he gives most of his power to the levels beneath him in the Catholic Church (The Noblemen.) He does this because of the fact that he has other things on his hands, such as teaching kids around the world about the Catholic Religion.
