Join us as we explore the Lateran Pacts of 1929, which established relations between the Holy See and the Kingdom of Italy, guaranteeing the Pope’s total freedom and independence. In this interview, Fr. Roberto Regoli, historian and professor of Church History at the Pontifical Gregorian University, explains the situation in Italy before the drafting of the Pacts, the significance of the Pacts and what they enshrine, and what it means for a State to recognize another State entity that acts on the basis of a spiritual mandate. Discover the history and diplomacy behind this important agreement that still has an impact on the world today.
