Pakistani Foreign Ministry summoned the Vatican’s ambassador to express regret over the pope’s remarks Tuesday.
I was gussing if Vatican have a ambassador in Pakistan. If Pakistan has one there must be in almost all countries.. so at least 180 of them.. plus other support staff.. for a country thta has a total population of 870 the number of their foreign service official must be too large..
Re: Vatican’s ambassadors
Good point :k:
They must have hired people from other countries, on contract. 
Or may be Italy is doing the job for them like they do all the other services

Ok found the explaination

On 31 December 2002 there were 555 people with Vatican citizenship, of whom all are dual-citizens to other countries (the majority being Italian). The Lateran Treaty states that in the event a Vatican citizen has their original nationality revoked and also lose their Vatican citizenship, they will be automatically granted Italian citizenship.
Among the 555 were:
The Pope
57 Cardinals
*293 Members of the clergy who serve as diplomatic envoys abroad *
56 Lesser ranking clergy members who work in the Vatican
104 Officers, NCOs and men of the Papal Swiss Guard.
44 Lay persons

The country is sooooo tiny.
0.44 sq.km
The smallest country in the world
Re: Vatican's ambassadors
So the number of Vatican nationals who are living abroad, ie 293 is higher than the number of Vatican nationals living in Vatican, ie 262. :)
Re: Vatican's ambassadors
Aparently number of Vatican national varies alot, They give nationality to people when they are required in vatican and then they revoke it when they are no longer required in vatican. This is what i gathered from wikipedia :)
Re: Vatican's ambassadors
Actually, they have a pretty good system for their holy place. We should have the same for ours, currently under Saudi occupation.
Re: Vatican's ambassadors
Fransis Coppola's Godfather III reveals that Vatican holds $600 billion in real estates...pretty mafiosi in disguise of religion... :D
Re: Vatican's ambassadors
I met one of the **Members of the clergy and he wants to convert to Islam, actually he sort of has already(he already believes in Allah and Quran) but hasnt taken the official shahadah.

Re: Vatican's ambassadors
Yeah and make Quaid-e-fatneck-thereek Altaf bhai the pope....:D
Re: Vatican's ambassadors
I see your therapy to get rid of your obsession with Altaf is not working too well! :)
Re: Vatican's ambassadors
How could I ever get rid of it....thats blasphamous....such a great and virtuous man...I love him dearly...besides I love my life too, cause once you become obsessed with Quaid-e-threek or join his organization, the only way you can leave it is through a coffin...
Jo Quaid ka ghaddar hai
Woh mot ka haqdar hai
