The Hubble is always pointed heavenward.
But - Hubble has a twin sister... that is pointed downward.
Why do you think that NASA launched a few 'military mission' shuttle launches? *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*

Isn't the Vatican in charge of the Hubble? No images can be released without Vatican consent? I'm probably wrong.

I'm afraid you are wrong. NASA is in charge of the Hubble Space Telescope, along with the ESA (European Space Agency) All images made by Hubble are eventually released to the public.
Some data are proprietary—that is, available only to the Principal Investigator (PI), the person who originally requested time to use the Hubble, and astronomers designated by him—for one year after being taken. The PI can apply to the director of the Space Telescope Science Institute to extend or reduce this time period in some circumstances.
Observations made on Director's Discretionary Time are exempt from the proprietary period, and are released to the public immediately.
The website to view Hubble data is http://archive.stsci.edu/hst

The Hubble Space Telescope is not designed for earth observation. It literally cannot be pointed at earth and take any meaningful images. That's not to say, however that there aren't plenty of other satellite platforms out there keeping an eye on us, as JimTX pointed out, just not Hubble.
