The Pope does indeed have the large  "M"  in his coat of arms. The
problem might be, that I have a feeling that the Vatican State does
not have a trademark authority. It might not even be a signatory to

I know for sure it has no trademark lawyers. Thank God! (This is not
meant irreverently. If it offends anyone, I apologize.)

Does anyone know how one gets a .VA domain?
