The Priest. It moves like a bishop, but it can only capture pawns (doesn't matter which team, pawns from his own team are fair game for the Priest). The US is weird, they call it "the republican".

Call it the Pedo not the Priest. Same function though.

Can it perform an il vaticano with a normal bishop?

Yes, and normal bishops don't consider it an ennemy when it eats pawns of the same color
