Lateran Treaties

A Dictionary of World History | 2000 | Copyright

Lateran Treaties (11 February 1929) Agreements between MUSSOLINI's government and Pius XI to regularize relations between the Vatican and the Italian government, strained since 1870 when the Papal States had been incorporated into a united Italy. By a treaty (CONCORDAT) and financial convention the VATICAN CITY was recognized as a fully independent state under papal sovereignty. The concordat recognized Roman Catholicism as the sole religion of the state. The Vatican received in cash and securities a large sum in settlement of claims against the state.
