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. Far from being a prisoner, the Italians placed no restrictions on his movements. 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.
