The Pope Is King, (Hardcover)

<p>"The Pope Is King" provides a compelling contemporary analysis of the resolution of the "Roman Question" and the signing of the Lateran Treaty in 1929. Written from an informed perspective under the pseudonym Civis Romanus, the work delves into the legal and political framework that established Vatican City as an independent sovereign state. It explores the intricate negotiations between the Holy See and the Italian government, examining the restoration of the Pope's temporal power after decades of diplomatic isolation following the unification of Italy.</p><p>The text examines the broader implications of these events for international law and the role of the Catholic Church in the modern world. It highlights the dual identity of the Pope as both a spiritual authority and a temporal monarch, detailing the historical context of the Papal States and the necessity of territorial independence for the Church's global mission. "The Pope Is King" is a valuable resource for students of ecclesiastical history, European diplomacy, and the evolution of the relationship between church and state in the early twentieth century.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
