According to the CIA, the Vatican has a population of 824 people and a growth rate of 0.003% per year.

That means that, in the last year, the Vatican's population increased by 0.025 people.

    .025 people last year... Doesn't it just mean that every 40 years it increases by 1?

    I was going to suggest something like that, but it didn't seem too likely, of course.
