I find it disgusting Neimenovic but I do understand why this is so.
Consider it like this, I was doing a study of Tibet prior to the Chinese communist invasion where the average age for a girl marrying was nine. The average life expectancy for a pesant girl was around 25 years. If they didn't want to die out and have enough children that at least two out of fourteen survived they had to start very early.
Many parts of Africa and more rural parts of South America are in the same situation today, and the Catholic Church ministers to many people with life spans below 30. It's....Horrible, but that's how it is there. If they didn't start cranking them out at fourteen they'd probably go extinct.
I despise it, but I don't blame the Catholics for that one.
As for the age of consent perviously being so low for sex not marriage I can't explain that, a possible quirk of the legal system during the formation of the Vatican from the Italian Kingdom? Perhaps a deliberate attempt to stifle legal cases against the holy see (can't be done for pedophillia it if it's legal where the diplomat is from?). No idea.
