The History of Vatican City

The government of Italy and the Holy See, again, the jurisdiction of the Pope, they create these things we mentioned earlier. This all goes down on February 11th of 1929. So it took three years for them to negotiate this stuff. And it's a big win for Vatican City. The pope then is able to exercise sovereignty after he is elected as the head of the Roman Catholic Church. He becomes an absolute monarch,. essentially, or let's call it, I guess, you know, Britannica.com uses the term executive in terms of his head of this mini-government. Right. Big man on campus.
