Did Vatican City always have a monarchy government?
The Catholic Church has been a monarchy ever since Our Lord appointed Peter as the head of his new Church. For hundreds of years the Pope was the absolute monarch of the Papal States that were ruled from Rome. The Pope lost the Papal States during the reunification of Italy. The Vatican at that time was simply a neighborhood in Rome where the Church was headquartered. In 1929 the Lateran Treaty was signed between the papacy and the Italian government. At that time the Vatican was recognized as an independent country - a city state. So, Vatican City has been ruled as a monarchy since 1929.
