Overview[]

The Papal States[]

The Papal States was a political entity that existed on the Italian peninsula from the 500s AD until 1870, when it was usurped by the unification of Italy by the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont. It is unique in that it was under the indirect sovereignty of the Pope, the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Throughout its history, the Papal States has played a significant role in balancing the power of Europe and is arguably one of the most important European nations to have ever existed; being directly and indirectly responsible for such history-changing events as the colonization of the New World by the Spanish, the Counter-Reformation and the formation of the Holy Roman Empire.

Pius IX[]

Pius IX was the head of the Roman Catholic Church and sovereign of the Papal States in the late nineteenth century. He was the longest serving Roman Pontiff since Saint Peter, reigning for some 32 years. During his pontificate, Pius IX oversaw the convention of the First Vatican Council, which would declare Papal Infallibility, and which would centralized the Catholic Church within the Vatican. He would also decree the Immaculate Conception; formally recognizing that Mary, Mother of God, was born without Original Sin. Much of Pius' reign would be interrupted by the threat of Italian nationalists on Rome, who eventually aided in the usurpation of the Papal States in the unification of Italy. Despite this, Pius IX resisted the invaders, refusing to bow to the Italian government, and, as prisoner within the Vatican, remained faithful and persevering; owing to the continuation of the Holy See.

Pius diplo

Praises to you, most blessed Pius IX, Bishop of Rome and Servant of the Servants of God. Marked by the trials of the aftermath of France's scourge upon Europe, your Pontificate would be the longest served since that of Saint Peter, and throughout you would tirelessly champion the long-held ways of Europe in the face of gripping nationalism and modernity. As Supreme Pontiff, you would oversee the convention of the First Vatican Council, where Papal Infallibility would be declared, and the central government of the Papacy and the Catholic Church would be formalized upon the Vatican within Rome. Even despite the usurpation of your temporal power by the irreverent Italian nationalists, your faith and perseverance would ensure the survival of the Holy See well into the 20th century.

Oh holy father, the time has come for the pillars of your faith to once more bear the sacred being of your papacy. Can you take upon your shoulders the will of God to lead the faithful? Can you spread the light of His Holy Mother Church against the darkness that gripes this age? Can you build a civilization that stands the test of time?

Introduction: "Welcome, my son. We are Pius IX, Supreme Pontiff and Bishop of Rome. We pray that our two great nations can live in harmony; together in the shadow of the Holy Mother Church."

Introduction: "We are Pius IX, Vicar of Christ and Bishop of Rome, and sovereign of the Pontifical state. We grant you the ear of the Holy Mother Church, so speak, my son."

Defeat: "What demon compels your heart to destroy God's kingdom on earth?"

Defeat: "Long may you swelter in the sight of God for this wretched action."
