Well, in the past, Christians had to surrender Constantinople, a city some called ‘The Second Rome’.

If the mohammedans (or anyone else) nuked Vatican City off the face of the Earth ... the Church would carry on its mission ... and set up HQ somewhere else. We'd likely be more than a little annoyed, but Rome/VC as such is NOT essential to the Faith.
I'll let the Jews speak of Jerusalem and the mohammedans speak of mecca.

Yes, but they didn't do so (surrender Constantinople)willingly and nobody called for them to do so willingly. They fell to the forces of Islam.
“If I forget thee oh Jerusalem
May my right hand forget it's cunning
If I do not remember thee
let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth
If I do not hold YOU above my chief joy.”
