of the Papacy and the Papal States—From
the Middle Ages to the birth of the modern Italian
State in the 1870s, the men who served as the
leaders of the Catholic Church held not only a
spiritual and religious authority, but also a very
real and temporal political and military power as
the rulers and princes of a unique European state
known as the Papal States. As rulers engaged in
geopolitical and military disputes, coalitions, and
negotiations, the Popes also waged war, signed
treaties, and took part in all of the intrigue
associated with European princes and kings of that
time period. Please
note that the modern Catholic Church, as symbolized
by the papacy of Pope John Paul II, denounces war
at every turn, and promotes a respect and valuation
of human life. The historical church and its some
of its leaders in the distant past held a far
different attitude toward these topics. Under
