I have some friends in the employ of the federal government, who was raised Catholic. One time we were having a conversation that started about the Catholic church. He said is that some of the decisions of the Catholics are odd and slow because they are making decisions on the scale of a hundred years. They intend to be around by then. The USA Feds seem to be on a similar plan, but it's more like a 10 year lag, and it finally seems to them like this HTTPS thing isn't just a fad. Funnily enough the official website for the Holy See is also not HTTPS encrypted. (http://www.vatican.va http://www.vatican.va)

This is a really good point. Organizations that play a stabilization role tend to benefit from this kind of dampened response to the various proddings of rapidly evolving tech.

> Funnily enough the official website for the Holy See is also not HTTPS encrypted. (http://www.vatican.va http://www.vatican.va) So that turns out to be a funny misconfiguration. https://www.vatican.va/content/vatican/en.html https://www.vatican.va/content/vatican/en.html works perfectly fine, but https://www.vatican.va https://www.vatican.va redirects to http://www.vatican.va/content/vatican/it.html http://www.vatican.va/content/vatican/it.html.

  I find it funny that their website looks like a menu from Rome Total War.
