That’s pretty incredible if you ask me. Despite the fact that it is the smallest country in the world, it does have a lot of financial backing. Next up, Monaco.

I think this is brilliant, hopefully other parts of Italy will start to catch on too and more Eco friendly forms of power and fuel will be used. I have only recently started to notice peoples attitude to the environment in Italy changing with recycling being a relatively new thing and for house hold waste its still quite hard to get it recycled so, for the Vatican to be spear heading this change to solar power really shows that a new wave of environmentally friendly Italians is emerging.

So, I guess you could say the Vatican has finally come to understand the importance of God’s SUN…the giver of life.

Kudos, and only it only took a couple thousand years!

Surely this story is inaccurate. If there’s one thing I’ve learned on Digg, it’s that religion and science are opposed in every sense, and they may never intersect whatsoever. And there’s no way that diggers would lie or be biased about that sort of thing – no siree.

Desert Tripper’s comments displays his ignorance about Catholicism and the Vatican; the Catholic church owns and runs universities, hospitals, and research facilities (such as the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope) in New Mexico. The problem Rome had with Galileo was NOT his heliocentric model (which was actually Copernicus’), but rather, his interpretation of Scripture as it related to his model. It’s odd the anti-Catholics biggots can’t find more recent incidents to demonstrate their arguments.

Lastly, what in the world does the solar panel project have to do with your comment that “It is a very good thing that the Vatican no longer holds the global power that it once did”? It sounds like you have an axe to grind rather than a relevant comment to make.

kudos to the vatican for trying to get with the times and get in touch with the 21st century. Plus of course going green is always good

It’s interesting to see the Vatican actually embracing modern technology, especially since that very same power-center basically stalemated much technological advance for many centuries. Galileo was the most prominent poster child for this misuse of power. It is a very good thing that the Vatican no longer holds the global power that it once did.
