PIMPOCRACY – @The Vatican With Secret Agent Rachel Minnick aka Lil Sassy
|Vatican City
Vatican City is an ecclesiastical or sacerdotal-monarchical state, ruled by the Bishop of Rome—the Pope. The highest state functionaries are all Catholic clergymen of various national origins. It is the sovereign territory of the Holy See (Sancta Sedes) and the location of the Pope’s residence, referred to as the Apostolic Palace.
The Popes have generally resided in the area that in 1929 became Vatican City since the return from Avignon in 1377, but have also at times resided in the Quirinal Palace in Rome and elsewhere. Previously, they resided in the Lateran Palace on the Caelian Hill on the far side of Rome from the Vatican. Emperor Constantine gave this site to Pope Miltiades in 313. The signing of the agreements that established the new state took place in the latter building, giving rise to the name of Lateran Pacts, by which they are known.
Moral of the story –
With Vatican City and the vacant seat of The Papacy as an ultra relevant trending topic for the month of March 2013, the decision was made to post some of the imagery from Rachel’s trip to Rome in 2012 so that we may have some important pimpformation available on the menu for those with tough questions who may be in need of some hard to find, one of a kind answers.
