Wars
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. German Attack
