| | LATERAN PACTS |
 | | Of course, the Lateran Treaty is and must remain intangible, but the two Sovereign Parties who signed it can of common accord explain and apply it in such a way as to make it comply with changed situations and sensibilities, as well as the unforeseen needs of the Holy See's mission. | | | It will constitute an element of continuity on a European scale of that spirit which the Lateran Pacts and later agreements between the Holy See and Italy expressed and which were so fruitful for the advancement of the human being and the good of the Country. | | | Today it is hard to imagine the depth and the pain of the spiritual wound in the hearts of many Italians who felt as though they were being forced to choose between fidelity to the Church and her Supreme Pastor and the desire to be loyal citizens of their own Country. |

| | In this sense, the Roman Curia has grown little by little in the history of Catholic Church, its importance reaching an apogee during the later times of Papacy's temporal power, de facto ended in 19th century (with the unification of Italy) and later formally too concluded in 1929 (with Lateran Pacts, or Concordato). | | | The Roman Curia, then, is the Papal Court, and assists the Pope in carrying out his functions. | | | After this act, the Curia obviously does not care any more about the administration of the Stato Pontificio (which territory has had a wide extension over current central Italy), at least due to its reduced national dimensions that would not require such an apparatus, now therefore mainly dedicated to support the Pope's action. |
