The pope, besides being the leader of the Catholic Church, is the secular leader of the city-state of Vatican City. In a sense, he is the 'emperor' of the Vatican. Until the reign of Pope Pius IX the pope was the secular leader of a large portion of Italy called the Papal States. The Papal States were under the sovereign direct rule of the Pope from the 500s until 1870.
