Vatican is one of those countries that do not matter, countries with seat in UN are the ones who need to recognize the State of Palestine.

Like Sweden for example: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/30/sweden-officially-recognises-state-palestine

Today Vatican power is symbolical at best. For better or worse today Vatican is a guide to Catholics but even they don't follow the the voice of their church. As for rest of the Europe, as long as Palestine isn't a burning matter they don't give a damn. Politics in EU have other things on their heads like Greece, immigrants from northern Africa, east Ukraine crisis.

It's all good and well being recognized by countries that are far away and have no intent to do anything to help them!

Palestine doesn't really exist at the moment, they are being crushed by Israel and will continue to be so until America decides that it has to stop them.  I am not suggesting that there will be any miliray action, but serious political pressure has to be put on Israel.  They seem content to do what they want now knowing that no one will do anything about it.  They flaunt international law constantly! Where are the repercussions?
