Holy See (Vatican City State) #214

Closed fvitali closed 3 years ago

fvitali commented 3 years ago

Hello.

There are several issues about the records regarding Vatican City State.

First of all, the name of the capital is truncated to "Citt", rather than "Città del Vaticano"

Second, the official name of the state is one of the following:

but not "Holy See", which is a sovereign entity but not a state. The Holy See represents the jurisdiction of the Catholic Bishop of Rome, colloquially known as the Pope. The Holy See governs but is NOT the Vatican City State, which is a (small) territory right in the middle of Rome founded in 1929 to provide territorial sovereignity to the Holy See (which preexists).

Hello,

Thanks. I see you are trying to merge a branch from a long time ago to master. The branch is 72 commits behind. But I will keep this open until I address the Vatican issues.
