(Institute for Works ofReligion [commonly known as the )
private institution
foundedin 1942 by Pope Pius XII and headquartered in
Vatican City.Rome was not built in a day, nor theVatican, and less its present opulence.
Has its roots in the fourth centuryof the Christian era, when the
Emperor Constantine converted to Christianityand made available to the
Pope Sylvester I a colossal Fortunately, it actuallyturned into the
1st Pope rich history.
The Catholic Church is the only religiousorganization in the world that has as an
independent state headquarters:Vatican City.
With its 2 Km2 Vatican is much smaller than many golf courses inthe world,
and to follow it without haste does not take much more than an hour;
Counting his riches, however, take considerably longer.
The modern opulence Vatican relieson the generosity of
Benito Mussolini ,
whothanks to the signing of the
Lateran Treaty between hisgovernment and the Vatican,
gave the Catholic Church a number of safeguards andsecurity measures.
The “Holy See” got the recognition as a sovereign state, thebenefit of
tax exemption of
their property for the benefit of their citizens,they had to pay duties so imported from abroad.
He was granted diplomaticimmunity and its diplomats started to enjoy post-privileges of

In 1933, the
Vatican once again demonstrated its ability to engage in lucrative deals
with the
fascistgovernments. The 1929, signed with
Mussolini, was followed by another
betweenthe Holy See and the 3rd Reich of
Hitler.
The manager Francesco Pacelli was oneof the key figures of the pact with Mussolini,
his brother Cardinal EugenioPacelli, the future Pope Pius XII was in charge of negotiating
as VaticanSecretary of State, signing a treaty with Hitler’s Germany.
Pius XII knewGermany. It was nuncio in Berlin during World War I and then as Secretary
of Stateof Pius XI, had numerous presentations to the course he was taking Germanpolitics.
As such, intervened decisively in the encyclical of Pius XI, known as
“Mit brennender Sorge” (which translates “With Burning Concern”).
Theinitiative of the encyclical left, contrary to popular belief, the Germanbishops,
the first draft was written in Rome by Cardinal Faulhaber. The thenCardinal Pacelli,
who speak German, gave definitive form, presented to Pius XI,was signed and publicada.
A despite constant pressure and great world,
Pope Pius XII alwaysrefused to
excommunicate Hitler and Mussolini, his pontificate was marked byadopting a
false pose of neutrality.
When the
Nazis invaded Poland, Pius XIIrefused to condemn the invasion;
One of the biggest advantages that the Vaticanwould very lucrative agreement
he had with Hitler was Kirchensteuerconfirmation, or a
church tax,
is a state tax that even now must pay the Germanbelievers,
and can only escape if they renounce their religion.
In practice,very few who renounce it. This tax alone represents between
8 and 10% of totaltax collected by the German government.
