| Birth rate in Vatican City | Patrick | Wednesday, January 26, 2005 |
Question: I recently read in a trivia book about the Vatican that the birth rate for the country is 0 (naturally). I was wondering what would happen if a pregnant woman gave birth to her child while visiting Vatican City. Would the child be a legal resident of the country? |

| Question Answered by Mr. Jacob Slavek
Dear Patrick, I honestly have no idea at all but I'll put your question up on the site just in case someone else does and can answer. :-) Mr. Slavek Footer Notes: (a) A Eucharistic Minister is clergy (Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion). Laity are Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion and should never be called Eucharistic Ministers. (b) There is no such Mass called the Novus Ordo. The Current Mass is the Roman Missal of 2000, or the Oridinary Form of the Mass. The Tridentine Mass is the Roman Missal of 1962, or the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. Please refrain from using the term, Novus Ordo. Thanks. (c) The titles of Acolyte and Lector belong exclusively to the Installed Offices of Acolyte and Lector, who are men (only) appointed by the Bishop. These roles performed by others are Altar Servers and Readers, respectively. |
