Italy has no official, state religion. So the country has no leader of religion. Nevertheless, Italy is the location of Vatican City, which is the headquarters of worldwide Roman Catholicism. The Vatican's leader is the Pope. That office currently is filled by the 265th and reigning Pope, Benedict XVI [b. April 16, 1927].

What did the pope do when Rome became the capital of Italy?

A:Pope Pius IX thought that by declaring himself a "prisoner of the Vatican" he could bring pressure to bear on the Italians to return the Papal States to him.

Pope Pius IX never backed down, but the papacy eventually realised the futility of this pretence and had to accept that the pope was no longer master of the world.

There is no definitive answer to this question, as Hitler's decision not to directly target the Pope can only be speculated on.

Others propose that it was due to internal divisions within the Nazi regime or the Pope's neutrality stance during the war. Ultimately, it remains a subject of debate among historians.
