is some difference between it and the Holy See.  I know that they have slightly<br/>
different flags, and I think that the Holy See is not a country.  On the other<br/>
hand, I know that the USA exchanges diplomats with the Holy See, but not with<br/>
Vatican City, for some inexplicable reason.<br/>
<br/>
That&#39;s all I know, but it&#39;s probably not meant to be understood by<br/>
Congregational Methodists such as I.  Perhaps some Roman Catholic among us can<br/>
explain it better.<br/>
