Apostolic Nunciature to Mexico
The Apostolic Nunciature to the Republic of Mexico is an ecclesiastical office of the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico. It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of ambassador.
Before 1992 the office was an Apostolic Delegation, without diplomatic status: its head was accredited to the Catholic Church in the country but not to the government. Pope John Paul II established the Nunciature to Mexico on 22 September 1992.[1]

gollark: I would prefer a car with *less* fancy shiny computer stuff in it, because computers → horrible security flaws everywhere.
gollark: I'm so excited about the amazing shiny technological future.
gollark: Great, so now my *car* is filled with exploits!
gollark: I mean, they have upsides, but as I said, it is not currently worth it for me.
