- Status is not correct "There are no protections at all for LGBT people in Vatican City, and they have the right to fire any employee regarding that matter, in context if they declare themselves to be LGBT or are against position of Church on homosexuality."
- Status is not correct "Adding to my previous comment, I made a slight error. The section claims there ARE nationwide employment discrimination, yet states it in a self-contradicting way. Additionally, the very next section says "There are no employment discrimination bans in Vatican City". Which is it? Vatican City-State no longer follows Italian law since 2008."
- Status is not correct "This says there are no national employment protections. Which protections are there then? Why are they not listed?"
