The Arizona part is understandable as AZ is one of the best states for astronomy/clear night skies (lower cloud cover, etc) on average than many other states.
The Vatican owning telescopes is nothing new -- they have long supported science and learning (yes, despite the Galileo incident which is much misunderstood).
The telescope is named Lucifer, seemingly intended as a joke (a telescope is a light bearer, after all) -- but if you ask me, that was in poor taste, as it scandalizes many folks.
