We have long contended that the Vatican has designs on Jerusalem, it has been reported by, among others, Barry Chamish that Rome may hold title to the site of the Temple mount. This article may be the prelude to a Vatican grab for significant real estate:

President Shimon Peres is urging the government to yield control of key Christian holy sites to the Vatican, a position believed to be opposed by Interior Minister Eli Yishai.
The Vatican’s longstanding demand that Israel transfer sovereignty of key Christian sites to the Holy See has created dissension among senior officials in Jerusalem.
The Interior Ministry has vowed to retain control of the sites, calling relinquishment a “sacrifice” of Israeli sovereignty.
“This matter is under the minister’s authority, and he is not prepared to sacrifice Israeli sovereignty, even if it is only symbolic,” Yishai’s spokesman Roi Rachmanovitch said.
Peres is pressing the government to agree to the Vatican’s request that Israel surrender control of six religious sites, among them the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth; the Coenaculum on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, where Jesus is said to have held the Last Supper; the Gethsemane, which sits at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem; Mount Tabor; and the Church of the Multiplication, which hugs the Kinneret’s shore.
The Woman is riding the Beast.
Precisely!
