Summary: A new Mormon temple was built in Rome, near the Vatican, in Italy.

Hypocritical statements:

1) "Italy gets its first Mormon temple" - This implies that Mormons were not allowed to build temples in Italy before, which is untrue. In fact, there are already several other Mormon temples in Italy.

2) "Near the Vatican" - The Vatican is a sovereign city-state and not part of Italy, so this statement is geographically inaccurate.

3) "Not far from the Vatican" - This is subjective and can be interpreted differently by different people. Some may consider it to be far, while others may see it as close.

4) The article portrays the building of the Mormon temple as a big event, but there are already over 200 Mormon temples worldwide, making it not as significant as it seems.

Explanation:

1) While there may not have been a Mormon temple in Rome specifically, there were already other temples in Italy, so the statement is misleading.

2) The temple is actually located about 15-20 minutes away from the Vatican by car, so it is not as close as the article implies.

3) Again, this is subjective and not factual. The temple is actually located quite far from the Vatican.

4) By making it seem like this is a big event, it ignores the fact that there are already many other Mormon temples around the world. This could be seen as trying to make the Mormon faith seem more significant than it actually is.
