[edit] Move this page to its original "Lateran Treaty" (singular) page
Gentlemen: It appears that this page was moved from the correct page which is "Lateran Treaty" to this wrong page. The Lateran Pacts of 1929 consisted of three agreements:
- The Lateran Treaty (singular) which is an agreement between two sovereign powers.
- The Financial Settlement as payment of the Savoy Monarchy and Italian state to the Holy See.
- And the Concordat between the Kingdom of Italy and the Church.
Its current title is inherently wrong since there was only ONE (1) TREATY involved. Dr mindbender 16:18, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image in the beginning
Can anyone else not see the image in the begining of the article? It may be just me, becuase I'm on the school computers right now, and we all know how those can be ;) Xxpor 15:51, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 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." [1]
[edit] The Money Received by the Holy See
I have come across reference to the exact number of lira paid , which was in the region of 750 million , plus 1 million in 5% bonds and coupons. Presumably the lira in question was of a more substantial nature in the 1920's , as was the Peseta ,in history, and was equally multipally sub-divisible .
I have in the distant past come across a published suggestion that the capital sum paid was invested in German heavy industry by way of the stock-market , which would bring the likeliest contender for advice close to the germany specialist Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli and , ominously , would likely link to the Rhenish-Westphalian Industrial Magnates . This last is a term from the era of Weimar and refers to the great industrialists and particularly to negotiations held between them and Hitler during December [[1932] . If it is the case that the Lateran payment was so invested, and given the inter-action between the Holy See and the Nazi Party , questioning would follow , as interests would have over-lapped and conflicted . It is not in historical dispute that the Industrial Magnates saved the Nazi party from bankruptcy in this period and changed the course of history by pushing a declining Nazi party in late 1932 to a re-juvenated publicity machine in early 1933. (The Nuremnurg Trial did not sort this out or achieve true judgement either side of the Atlantic against collaborating capital forces , for legal reasons still requiring revisit , if only morally .)
Defenders of the faith have always been dismissive of the Rolf Hochluth play The Deputyin the 1964 based on this investment and are in general loathe to confront the issue ,even if it is only that of the wider vatican involvement with Hitlerism .
It appears that the Holy See does not ever receive money from world-wide congregations and that this Lateran payment initiated a fund the which ,presumably ,was invested in something . A record must exist as to where and how the capital was invested and therefore the Holy See could squash the fear of this suggstion ,if it chose. Has it ?
Rolf Hochluth receives 7 (seven) Google results .Famekeeper 10:30, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
I applaud you, FK, that you don't claim the investments in Germany as hard, proved and tested historical facts. I would be very surprised if the Vatican had not invested in Germany too, but I guess they spread the money a bit.
Be that as it may, Hochhuth is not history. It is a bad play and historically inaccurate, even if the investment thing were right (and I don't know), that certainly wasn't of any major importance.
My google results (English, German, French) not that they prove anything, but hey):
Rolf Hochluth receives 8 (all french) Hochluth reveives 13 Hochmuth received 85.900 Hochhuth 654 Hochhuth 87.300 Rolf Hochhuth 77.400 among them: http://www.geocities.com/frjimlloyd/piusxii.htm

[edit] Link for full text of the Treaties
Could someone put up a better link to a full text of the Treaties? The link that's there right now is to the site of some anti-Catholic guy who also asseted that the Pope is the antichrist. Can't we find something more worthy than that garbage?J.J. Bustamante 12:52, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Napoleon Bonaparte
During the reign of Napoleon and his occupation of the Vatican City, did he at all restrict the power of the Pope? I'm unsure, but from memory Napoleon arranged the area of the Vatican to limit the Pope's power. Anyone able to give some light in this matter? Thanksi, Aeryck89 18:30, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
