Whereas the Holy See and Ital have recognised the desirability of eliminating every reason for dissension existing between them and arriving at a final settlement of their reciprocal relations which shall be consistent with justice and with the dignity of both High Contracting Parties. And which by permanently assuring-to the Holy See a position de facto and de jure which shall guarantee absolute independence for the fulfilment of its exalted mission in the world permits the Holy See to consider as finally and irrevocably settled the Roman Question which arose in 1870 by the annexation of Rome to the Kingdom, of Italy, under the Dynasty of the House of Savoy; Whereas it was obligatory, for the purpose of assuring the absolute and visible independence of the Holy See. Likewise to guarantee its indisputable sovereignty in international matters, it has been found necessary to create under special conditions the Vatican City, recognising the full ownership, exclusive and absolute dominion and sovereign jurisdiction of the Holy See over that City; His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff Pius XI and His-Majesty Victor Emmanuel III, King of Italy, have agreed to conclude a Treaty, appointing for that purpose two Plenipotentiaries, being on behalf of His Holiness, His Secretary of State, viz.

St. Peter is buried under the central Papal altar in St. Peter’s Basilica. T F 3. “Roman Pontiff”, which is one of the Pope’s titles literally means, “Roman Bridge Builder”. T F 4.

The name most frequently chosen by a Pope after his election, has been “Benedict”, used 16 times. T F 8.

  • Wielding the Temporal Sword
    WIELDING THE TEMPORAL SWORD AN ANALYSIS OF THE CREATION OF VATICAN CITY STATE IN RELATION TO THE CATHOLIC PERSPECTIVE ON STATEHOOD AND CATHOLIC DOCTRINE ON THE RELATION BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE Master Thesis Political Theory Guido As August 15th 2016 Supervisor: Prof. dr. M.L.J. Wissenburg Abstract The Lateran Treaty of 1929 between Italy and the Roman Catholic Church constitutes the creation of Vatican City State. This thesis gives an account of the negotiations leading up to the signing of the Treaty. The creation of the City State draws our attention to two specific concepts: statehood and the separation of Church and state. The Catholic perspective on these concepts is presented and compared to other dominant theories of the concepts The Catholic perception of statehood in the early 20th century was based on the work of Fr. Taparelli, a Jesuit scholar who was heavily inspired by Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274). The thesis concludes that there is a discrepancy between this theoretical conception of statehood, and the creation of Vatican City State. This can be explained by the fact that obtaining statehood was instrumental to the Holy See’s ambition of becoming sovereign. Catholic doctrine on the relation between Church and state has always rejected the idea of a full separation. Papal teachings have traditionally promoted a differentiation between a spiritual and temporal sphere of power, each supreme in its own domain, but cooperating in harmony. Depending on one´s interpretation, the creation of Vatican City is in line with this doctrine. Key words: Lateran Treaty, Vatican City State, separation of Church and State, statehood, sovereignty 2 Contents Chapter 1.

ISBN 978 1 86082 854 6 3 Introduction The Papacy is a dynasty: it claims to be an unbroken succession of Popes, onwards from the Apostle Peter in the first century of the Christian era, so is possibly the oldest institution surviving continuously to the present day. Unlike royal dynasties, however, the next in line to the papacy is unknown until he is elected to the office. The election of a new Pope arouses interest worldwide, not only within the Roman Catholic Church, but indeed with many of other faiths and of none. The public gaze will soon be focused on the Vatican, where the Cardinals assemble in seclusion to decide the succession.

This has been done not only out of love for art, but also to safeguard cultural heritage in the face of challenges and dangers that would deprive it of its function and value.

SECOND EDITION, with latest Information. WINCHESTER : PRINTED BY JACOB AND JOHNSON, HANTS CHRONICLE OFFICE. PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION, 1883. I would preface the following paper by saying that Count Enrico di Campello had been expected to attend the meeting* held at the house of Mr. E. Thornton, c.B., on the 11th of June last, but the services just commencing in the newly fitted Chapel of San Paolo detained him at Rome. On the 6th of July Campello reached London at the invita- tion of Canon Meyrick, the honoured and indefatigable Secretaiy of the Anglo-Continental Society, and by him he was, on the Archbishop's invitation, taken to Lambeth, and was also introduced to many other dignitaries of our Church. The paper which follows was read by me at a meeting on behalf of the Church reform movement at Rome, held in the house of Bishop McDougall, at Winchester, over which the Lord Bishop of that Diocese presided. It was again read in Dean Plumptre's hall at Wells, to a meeting over which presided the Bishop, Lord A. Hervey. The Count was present— at both meetings, and spoke shortly in Italian. He said : " As at the end of the sixth century Gregory the Great sent Augustine in the holy name of brother- hood to England as Missionary, so now he, a son of Rome, came in the 19th century to ask the same brotherhood from us.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See funeral Mass for Cardinal Ugo Poletti, former Vicar of the Eternal City HOMILY OF JOHN PAUL II Thursday, 27 February 1997 1. “Scio quod Redemptor meus vivit” (Jb 19:25). In the great silence that envelops the mystery of death, the voice of the ancient believer rises full of hope. Job implores salvation from the Living God, in whom every human event finds its meaning and definitive conclusion. “I shall see God ... and my eyes shall behold, and not another” (Jb 19:27), the inspired text continues, allowing a glimpse of the merciful face of the Lord at the end of the earthly pilgrimage. “My Redeemer .... will stand upon the earth”, the sacred author stresses, basing his expectations and the support of his hope on the assistance of the Almighty’s goodness. 2. This firm hope guided the path of our late and beloved Cardinal Poletti throughout his life among us: a hope that rested on his unshakeable and simple faith, learned at home and in the Christian community of Omegna, in the Diocese of Novara, where he was born over 82 years ago. It was precisely this relationship of trust and dialogue with the Lord that led young Ugo to perceive the divine call and to enter the seminary of Novara. It was this relationship, nourished by daily prayer, which sustained his first steps in his priestly ministry. He let himself be led by the Divine Master in every subsequent service to the Diocese of Novara, of which he was appointed ProVicar, and later, Vicar General.
