Government The pope has full legal, executive, and judicial powers. Executive power over the area is in the hands of a commission of cardinals appointed by the pope. The College of Cardinals is the pope's chief advisory body, and upon his death the cardinals elect his successor for life. History The Vatican City State, sovereign and independent, is the survivor of the papal states that in 1859 comprised an area of some 17,000 sq mi (44,030 sq km). During the struggle for Italian unification, from 1860 to 1870, most of this area became part of Italy. By an Italian law of May 13, 1871, the temporal power of the pope was abrogated, and the territory of the papacy was confined to the Vatican and Lateran palaces and the villa of Castel Gandolfo. The popes consistently refused to recognize this arrangement. The Lateran Treaty of Feb. 11, 1929, between the Vatican and the kingdom of Italy, established the autonomy of the Holy See.

Melady Posted: Thursday, November 16, 2006 The Ambassadors Review (Washington) Publication Date: Fall 2006 The Pope opened his address with a reference to a dialogue in the 14th century between the "erudite Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Paleologus and an educated Persian on the subject of Christianity and Islam, and the truth of both." The quote that caused the furor was, "He [the emperor] turns to his interlocutor somewhat brusquely with the central question on the relationship between religion and violence in general, in these words, ‘Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.'" The Pope was clear in his words after the quote, insisting that religion and reason need one another with a strong appeal against religious violence. Recent History The opening of Vatican Council II in 1959 initiated within a short time an emphasis on faith and religious freedom. The concepts of religious freedom and respect for all believers were energized by Pope John XXIII in the early days of the Council in the 1960s and culminated on December 7, 1965, when Pope Paul VI, accompanied by Jesuit priest John Courtney Murray issued the document on religious freedom.

CONGRESSIONAL-EXECUTIVE COMMISSION ON CHINA 2006 ANNUAL REPORT V. Monitoring Compliance with Human Rights V(d) Freedom of Religion Introduction Regulation on Religious Affairs Other Developments Religious Freedom for Tibetan Buddhists ... Government Persecution of Falun Gong Findings The 2004 Regulation on Religious Affairs (RRA) has not afforded greater religious freedom to Chinese citizens, despite government claims that it represented a "paradigm shift" by limiting state control over religion. Like earlier local and national regulations on religion, the RRA emphasizes government control and restrictions on religion. The RRA articulates general protection only for freedom of "religious belief," but not for expressions of religious belief. Like earlier regulations, it also protects only those religious activities deemed "normal," without defining this term. Although the RRA includes provisions that permit registered religious organizations to select leaders, publish materials, and engage in other affairs, many provisions are conditioned on government approval and oversight of religious activities. Chinese government enforcement of Party policy on religion creates a repressive environment for the practice of Tibetan Buddhism. Party policies toward the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama, the second-ranking Tibetan spiritual leader, seek to control the fundamental religious convictions of Tibetan Buddhists. Government actions to implement Party policies caused further deterioration in some aspects of religious freedom for Tibetan Buddhists in the past year. Officials began a patriotic education campaign in Lhasa-area monasteries and nunneries in April 2005. Expressions of resentment by Tibetan monks and nuns against the continuing campaign resulted in detentions, expulsions, and an apparent suicide. Chinese officials continue to hold Gedun Choekyi Nyima, the boy the Dalai Lama recognized as the Panchen Lama in May 1995, in incommunicado custody along with his parents.
