It's catholic tradition to offset being wrong with money. You see the Vatican got embarrassed after the Galileo affair. Something about the earth being flat or round maybe

No, it's weird because I was supposed to go hiking up there this morning but can't be assed to go that early. Not sure if synergy or dead internet theory.
Anyway, the binocular telescope next to it is pretty interesting. Visible and IR, interferometry mode.

Catholicism (as well as Judism and Islam) needs astronomers to determine festival dates by correlating lunar and solar calendars. E.g., Passover and Easter require observing the pascal full moon.

And searching the heavens to identify converts for Catholicism.

You don't need a full blown observatory for that.

All the better to see God's glory, Anon.

Dude, when the Ayes arrive, visionary missionaries if all stripes will want to talk to them.
It will be a global madhouse.

Can't wait for the UFO cults to go mainstream. Maybe we see a resurgence in Posadism. Good times.

Girls will be twerking on TikTok for the Ayes, bro. No lie. Ayes will use social media to find their probees.

I'm not saying they shouldn't have an observatory. I'm just saying you don't need an observatory to calculate festival dates.

No you don't. You see reddit-memes about it by people who know literally nothing that wasn't programmed in them by someone else.

No worries, dude. You make a valid point. The Vatican loves to overspend and bugger.
Read up on the Vatican Observatory and the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT) in wikipedia. Pretty cool stuff.

Probably already are.
