Lateran Treaties#REDIRECT Lateran treaties Lateran treatiesThe Lateran Treaties of February 11, 1929 provided for the mutual recognition of the then-Italy and the Vatican City. The treaties were negotiated between Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Gasparri on behalf of the Holy See, and Benito Mussolini, the fascism leader, as Prime Minister of Italy. There are three treaties: * A treaty recognising the independence and sovereignty of the Holy See and creating the State of the Vatican City. * A concordat defining the civil and religious relations between the government and the church within Italy (summarised in the motto: "free church in free State"). * A financial convention providing the Holy See with compensation for its losses in 1870. Through the concordat, the Pope agreed to submit candidates for bishop and archbishop to the Italian government, to require bishops to swear allegiance to the Italian state before taking offices, and to forbid the clergy from taking part in politics. Italy agreed to submit its rules on marriage and divorce to make them conformable to the rules of the Roman Catholic Church, and to exempt clergy from military conscription. The treaties granted the Roman Catholic Church the status of the establishment of religion in Italy. They also gave the Roman Catholic Church substantial control over the Italian educational system. The treaties were revised in 1985, primarily to remove the state religion of the Catholic Church in Italy. ==See also== *Prisoner in the Vatican *Properties of the Holy See ==External links== *[http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/treaty.htm Full text of the treaties] History of Catholicism in Italy Vatican City Lateran treaties==Passage right== How can one go around introducing this paragraph in the front article "Italy also has a long-standing agreement, known as the Concordat, to allow visitors to the Vatican to cross Italian territory, because the Papal state has no airport."
