Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the long-held belief that the Pope is not just a religious leader, but a political sovereign prince, wielding power over a vast, geographically boundless empire of Catholic subjects. The author meticulously examines the historical claims and practices of the Papacy, weaving together arguments from history, canon law, and international law. The book explores the Papacy's rise to power in the wake of the Roman Empire's decline, tracing the roots of the Pope's claims to supreme overlordship over even the most powerful monarchs. It then delves into the era of the Papal States, outlining the Pope's status as an absolute monarch during this period. The author then moves to the present day, arguing that even though the Pope lost control of his territorial dominion, he still retains a preeminent sovereignty over the entire world. The book cites various evidence, including the Pope's use of a crown, the Italian Law of Papal Guarantees, and declarations made by Popes and Councils over centuries, all of which solidify the author's view of the Papacy as a formidable political force. This compelling work sheds light on a critical aspect of historical and political power, challenging readers to reconsider the true extent of the Pope's influence and its implications for the relationship between Church and State.
