I logged in to Minecraft to see if I could check out the server myself and found that it's currently capped at 20 players. At least in Minecraft, being creative is a goal for most players. Rust and ARK are both even more prone to griefing than Minecraft and a church-backed TF2 server just seems like an odd choice. Minecraft is certainly the best of the options from Ballecer's original poll.
It's not even really about the gaming, it's about getting people together, who can then maybe move those relationships to the real world." Father Bellecer tells Rome Reports.

Father Ballacer's Vatican server certainly wouldn't be the first, but if he's able to lead by example the kind of Minecraft community that he'd like to see, having one more kind place on the internet would be swell. There are already gaming communities, some centered around specific games and others specific subsets of a game's community, that are good, wholesome places to be.
It may be a bit naive to think that the Vatican's own server would be immune to that problem. Specifically stating that you want a community that isn't "toxic" is usually a great way to ensure the exact folks who fit that description find and flood your service. This apparently all started back in August when Father Ballecer tweeted a poll asking what kind of game server players would want for a community-focused server.
If there's one thing I know about Jesuits (but there are still plenty I don't) it's that this kind of dorky merging of tech and faith is extremely their thing. I'm not Catholic, but I did go to a Catholic school for four years. The Catholic church doesn't exactly have a pro-tech image so a Minecraft server probably sounds out of left field to many people. No, just as a place to do all the normal Minecraft things that folks do but in a less "toxic" environment. Robert Ballecer, a Jesuit priest who has apparently carved out the name " Digital Jesuit" for himself online, has started a Minecraft server for the Vatican. Now one of the original cathedral creators is putting its mark on Minecraft: the Catholic church. Players have built castles, Legend of Zelda maps, Westeros, and plenty of very grand cathedrals. There is an equal and opposite to the internet's Rule 34 which says that if you can imagine it, someone has made it in Minecraft.
