	Holy See - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1971, the Holy See announced the decision to adhere to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in order to "give its moral support to the principles that form the base of the treaty itself." It is also a guest of honour to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
		Archbishop Jean-Louis Tauran, the Holy See's former Secretary for Relations with States, said that the Vatican City is a "minuscule support-state that guarantees the spiritual freedom of the Pope with the minimum territory".

	Holy Roman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Holy Roman Empire, known from the 16th century also as The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation was a political conglomeration of lands in Central Europe in the Middle Ages and the early modern period.
		The Holy Roman Empire was a conscious attempt to resurrect the Western Roman Empire, considered to have ended with the abdication of Romulus Augustulus in 476.
		After the unification of Germany as a nation state in 1871 (see German Empire), the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation was sometimes known as the Old Empire while the new empire was known as the New Empire, second Empire, or Second Reich.

	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Politics of the Vatican City
		The pope exercises supreme legislative, executive, and judicial power over the Holy See and the State of the Vatican City, a rare case of elective non-hereditary monarchy.

		As formally re-defined in 1929, after the Concordato between Vatican and Italy, to administer properties belonging to the Holy See in Rome, the State of the Vatican City is recognized under international law and enters into international agreements.

	Theocracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It refers to a form of government in which the organs of the religious sphere replace or dominate the organs of the political sphere as clerical or spiritual representative(s) of god(s).
		Theocracy should be distinguished from other, secular forms of government which also have a state religion, and from some monarchies, in which the head of state legitimates the authority of the crown as being held By the Grace of God and tends to assume a sacral aura.
		Outer Mongolia also had a theocratic Lama (before the Soviets installed a satellite communist state), but there since the start in 1639, when the son of the Mongol Khan of Urga was named a Living Buddha (Bogdo gegeen), the dynasty espoused theocracy and secular aristocracy.

	The Holy See and the Middle East
		The Holy See's third choice in contributing to the stability of the Middle East is northing lessthan the promotion of inter-religious dialogue with the Jews and Muslims.
		As far as the Holy See is concerned this dialogue is founded on the respect that the three religions have for one another.
		So it is that the Holy See, which has no direct technical competence or ambition whatsoever to intervene in the territorial dispute dividing the two peoples, certainly cannot fail to concern itself with the safeguarding of the sacred and cultural dimension of the Holy Places of the three religions.

	Jew (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The waves of immigration to the United States at the turn of the 19th century, massacre of European Jewry during the Holocaust, and the foundation of the State of Israel (and subsequent Jewish exodus from Arab lands) all resulted in substantial shifts in the Population centers of world Jewry during the 20th century.
		Since the Jewish Enlightenment (see Haskalah) of the 1700s and the subsequent emancipation of the Jewish populations of Europe and America in the 1800s, Jews have increasingly participated in, and become part of, secular society.
		The patriarch Abraham was a migrant to the land of Canaan from Ur of the Chaldees.

	Holy Communion and Unholy Politics by John P. Beal, America: The Catholic Weekly Magazine
		If anything is clear, at least to canonists, about the current furor over admission of politicians to holy Communion, it is that no so-called “pro-choice” politician has been excommunicated as a result of her or his public record.
		Under Pius XII, the Holy Office declared that, as presumed apostates who adhered to an anti-Catholic society, members of the Communist Party and some of its “fellow travelers” were to be refused holy Communion, since they were not properly disposed for its reception.
		Resort to disciplinary measures like refusal of holy Communion is an implicit acknowledgment by church authorities that they have failed as teachers to convince Catholic politicians in particular and the larger society in general of the truth of the Gospel of life.

		The bureaucratic and administrative work of the Holy See is performed by the Roman Curia, which consists of the Papal Secretariat of State (the Cabinet Office equivalent), nine Congregations (or Ministries), nine Councils, three Tribunals and a complex of Offices and Commissions.
		In 1984, the Holy See and Italy modified the provisions of the Lateran Treaty.
		The Holy See is supported financially by contributions from the 1.1 billion Roman Catholics throughout the world – 'Peter’s Pence' - the sale of postage stamps, souvenirs, museum admission charges and the sale of publications.

	The Holy See and the U.N.
		The Holy See and the U.N. This past November, in an interview with a leading Italian daily, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, the Vatican Secretary of State, said that he “would not exclude” the possibility of the Holy See becoming a full member of the United Nations, where it presently is a “permanent observer.”
		It is important to remember that the Holy See, not Vatican City State, exchanges diplomatic representation with over 175 countries, holds permanent observer status at the U.N., and is represented diplomatically at the European Union, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and the Organization of American States.
		During those fifty-nine years, the Holy See’s legal personality wasn’t changed by the fact that the Pope no longer ruled a defined piece of territory; the Pope remained the sovereign head of the Catholic Church, which is the essential element in the equation.

		On the other hand, the Holy See exercises a pastoral and teaching role for the world's Catholics, and is a major vehicle by which the Church (as distinct from the Holy See) projects itself into the public sphere.
		Both concern for the Holy Places, despite assurances that these would be extraterritorialized, and the traditional theological understanding of the Jews as unbelievers, doomed to perpetual exile because of their rejection of Jesus, seem to have undergirded the Vatican responses.
		In what amounts to the Holy See's first reference to the Palestinians as a "people" and not simply as refugees, this letter, while circulated only within Church circles, seems to amount to an attempt to rebut Prime Minister Meir's famous denial that there was a Palestinian people.

		Then there is the question of how the Holy See, which is not a state, is to function in international fora in which every other actor of consequence is a state.
		Its central insights into the nature of politics and public life remain true and are crucial in a debate often dominated by less noble (and indeed less true) conceptions of the human person, human community, human origins, and human destiny.
		If the Catholic Church, in expressing its convictions through the diplomacy of the Holy See, were to resemble ever more closely the World Council of Churches in the latter’s undifferentiated embrace of the current UN system, much would be lost—for the Church, but also for the world.

	USCCB - (Bishops) - The Holy See and the Middle East
		Thus during the seventeen long years of the recent civil war, the Holy See always encouraged resistance to the temptation, which certain Lebanese circles harboured, to create a mini Christian state.
		The Holy See's third choice in contributing to the stability of the Middle East is nothing less than the promotion of inter-religious dialogue with the Jews and Muslims.
		The Holy See therefore strictly favors "a special internationally guaranteed statute' for the most sacred areas of the City, in order in the future to preserve and protect the identity of the Holy City in its entirety and in every aspect:

		The world is going to need dramatically more, not less, energy in the next fifty years: we owe it to future generations everywhere to start immediately on such a path.
