The Vatican has yet to comment on the matter. However, in 1984. The Italian government and the Pope secretly detained 4 priests practicing faith hood around the world that were found guilty of collectively molesting over 45 children over a 20 year span. The Pope would still be able to continue the catholic tradition around the world, but under the proposal the Vatican would cease to exist and would be annexed by Italy.
Vatican may cease to exist, says EU.
