A concordat is a special term for a treaty between a secular state and the Vatican. It deals with the status of the Roman Catholic Church in the country - for example, the government may pledge itself to collect taxes or tithes for the church. The treaty may also extend to other, more general matters, too. Take a look at Concordat Watch for examples of how the Catholic Church uses and has used concordats to obtain privileges and other benefits from national governments.
