Скачать или смотреть Catholicism 83: Why the Vatican Became an Independent Country | Full Historical Breakdown

Why is the Vatican the smallest and most unique country in the world? How did a religious institution become a fully independent sovereign state? In this 30–45 minute documentary-style breakdown, we explore the critical historical events that led to the creation of Vatican City as an independent country in 1929.

You’ll learn about the fall of the Papal States, the unification of Italy, the political crisis known as the “Roman Question,” and how the Lateran Treaty finally resolved a decades-long conflict between the Pope and the Italian government. We also examine why the Vatican needs independence to protect its religious mission, diplomacy, global influence, and spiritual authority.
