Vatican.va

Vatican.va is the official website of the Holy See, launched on 25 December 1995. The website serves as the online access point for the papacy and hosts official documents. Conceived by Franciscan sister , Archbishop John Patrick Foley, and the press office director Joaquín Navarro-Valls, Vatican.va has been maintained and developed by the Pontifical Council for Social Communications (PCSC) since its inception.

== Description == Vatican.va is managed by the PCSC, which regularly updates the website's layout and contents to keep up with the latest technology. The website, which serves "as the access point for information about the pope and the Curial offices," features full texts of official documents of the Holy See, including letters, encyclicals, constitutions, and exhortations. The website is provided in nine languages: English, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Chinese, and Arabic, although not all documents on the website are fully translated. The website also hosts the entire text of the Nova Vulgata, the Church's current authorized Latin translation of the Bible. The current website has been updated to prominently display a photo of Pope Leo XIV, as well as links to acquiring tickets and daily news.
