 Pope Pius XI
Pius' pontificate soon witnessed the rise to power of Benito Mussolini, who signed (Feb. 11, 1929) with him the Lateran Treaty that allowed the existence of the independent Vatican City state, over which the pope ruled.
Pius further agreed that a pope would intervene in foreign affairs not as head of a sovereign state but as head of the church.
