Well, according to the post just before yours (165 I believe) you are incorrect regarding the numbers of catholics. Be that as it may, it is also true that there are a number of catholics who are not Christians...so if the claim is that the vatican represents a majority of Christians including nominal ones, that doesn't even appear to be accurate. (and to clarify before you get your undies in a bundle, there are quite a few nominal Christians in protestant denominations as well.
No matter where one might fall in that debate it is a fact that the Vatican does not speak for Christians...just catholics. I know of no non-catholics that place any value in what the vatican proclaims, and very many would would take issue with the vast majority of what comes from that source.
Certainly, the Catholic Church is probably over-inclusive when it comes to who it includes in its numbers. But that's probably done by every other denomination. So, it doesn't likely change the percentages much.

So, non-Catholic Christians do not agree with Vatican on issues of abortion, gay marriage etc.?
