Which is why the book looks at its status as a country. The Vatican officials have diplomatic immunity currently. There have been some cases (documented in the book), where Vatican officials have been given incriminating documents from members of a local catholic church before the secular authorities can get their hands on the documents. Once that happens the authorities cannot take the documents because the officials claim diplomatic immunity and the documents are sent back to the Vatican.

So in my opinion they certainly are, however whilst they are considered a state they get immunity, whether we like it or not. Though of course the individual churches etc can and do get taken to court all the time. So the Vatican certainly has been financially hit.

Meh, sounds more like a sham state to me. Such an activity should make it qualify as a terrorist state or something.
