So, I do see the Vatican as a place of great religious significance, but not crucial for either the confirmation or continuance of faith. Others, however, may deem it so. But not me, and probably not most Christians.

Actually you are probably wrong there since "most Christians" are Catholic.

Help me out here a bit. Maybe I'm looking at this all wrong.

Are you saying the destruction of the Vatican would destroy the faith of many, if not most Catholics? If so, why?

No I wasn't suggesting that. His post implied that Catholics make up just one subset of Christianity. My point was to show that Catholics make up the vast majority of Christians (over 75% as noted above). I have not weighed-in on the implications of the hypothetical destruction of the Vatican, nor will I.
