		The Holy See The Mother Church of the Papal Vatican's cyber presence. Everything from Pontiff bios to Roman curia and the complete Catechism of the Catholic Church is here. Also, an event calendar for the upcoming Holy Year 2000 celebration.
		Rome Itineraries Rome may not have been built in a day, but, thanks to Ed and Julie, that doesn't mean you can't tour it in one. Follow their ready-made sightseeing strolls, and you'll get the flavor of this papal capital.
		Popes Through the Ages: The Complete List of Popes Straight from the Catholic Encyclopedia, a complete list of all the Popes from St. Peter on through to John Paul II. Each is accompanied by a brief biography and links to his holiness' pontifications. Nothing about the red shoes, though.
		Vatican Museums It might surprise you to know that the "Vatican Museums" catch-all phrase actually includes 22 individual galleries and halls. Get the scoop on each, from the Vase Collection to the Gallery of Maps.
		Visit to the Sistine Chapel in Vatican This virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel deconstructs the architecture and infamous ceiling and wall frescoes by Michelangelo. Few people get to see "The Last Judgment" without the accompanying whiplash.
		Città del Vaticano Scroll down past the religious inscriptions exhibit to find images straight from St. Peter's Basilica, the Pontifical Palaces, and the Vatican Gardens. This photo tour of the holy city takes you both inside and out.
		Vatican Souvenir Store The official gift shop of the Vatican accepts twenty currencies and lets you order online. Choose from parchments, rosaries, crucifixes, Holy Year 2000 shirts, and dashboard Saints. We ordered two bottles of Papal Pancake Syrup.
		Vatican Exhibit Main Hall Don't feel like roaming Rome? Do it from home with this virtual visit to the Vatican's main hall. From there, choose which rooms to tour to see historic treatises, artifacts, artwork, and books.
