Holy See (Vatican City) (Notes) Holy See (Vatican City) - Government and Political Conditions (Notes) GOVERNMENT AND INSTITUTIONS The Pope exercises supreme legislative, executive, and judicial power over the Holy See and the State of the Vatican City. Pope John Paul II, born in Poland, is the first non-Italian Pope in nearly five centuries. Elected on October 16, 1978, he succeeded John Paul I, whose reign was limited by his untimely death to only 34 days. The term 'Holy See' refers to the composite of the authority, jurisdiction, and sovereignty vested in the Pope and his advisers to direct the worldwide Roman Catholic Church. As the 'central government' of the Roman Catholic Church, the Holy See has a legal personality that allows it to enter into treaties as the juridical equal of a state and to send and receive diplomatic representatives. The Holy See has formal diplomatic relations with 174 nations, including the United States and many predominantly Muslim countries. The Holy See also maintains relations of a special nature with the Russian Federation and the Organization for the Liberation of Palestine. Created in 1929 to provide a territorial identity for the Holy See in Rome, the State of the Vatican City is a recognized national territory under international law. The Holy See, however, enters into international agreements and receives and sends diplomatic representatives.

Diplomatic Relations with Holy See By Thomas J. Reese, S.J., senior fellow at the Woodstock Theological Center America , March 16, 1985 America Press When the U.S. Senate approved the appointment of William A. Wilson as the U.S. ambassador to the Holy See at the end of 1983, most people expected the debate over diplomatic relations with the Vatican to fade away. Not so. The fight has merely moved from the executive and legislative branches of government to the judiciary. Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the American Baptist Churches in the U.S.A., the National Association of Evangelicals, the National Association of [Catholic] Laity and a number of other organizations filed suit in the Federal District Court of Philadelphia alleging that diplomatic relations with the Holy See violates the establishment clause of the First Amendment and the liberty and equal protection clauses of the Fifth Amendment. The Justice Department summarizes the plaintiffs' complaints that the appointment of an ambassador to the Holy See "creates a formal official relationship between the United States" and a church; "prefers one religious denomination over all others;" "creates a special benefit for one religious organization and a corresponding detriment for all others;" "provides the potential for excessive governmental entanglement between church and state," and "results in political and religious divisiveness." The plaintiffs also argue that the Holy See is not a state but a church and that the Fifth Amendment prohibits "the creation of any permanent church-state linkage."
