Hey folks, working on an essay, have a couple quick questions and thought
someone on the list would know -
1. Looking for the correct etymology for "Vatican". Popular mainstream
sources all explicitly say "nothing to do here" or "not to be confused" with
"sooth-saying". Alternative sources claim that the word Vatican comes from
Vaticinia which means ³place of divinations² or ³place of the sorcerers.²
2. How many telescopes around the world does the Vatican fund/own? I know
they're building the Mt Graham observatory in Arizona, are there others? How
many billions in Vatican donations goes to build telescopes?
Thanks
