History[]
Traditions The Great Schism happened in the year 876, whereChalcedonian splits betweenCatholic andOrthodox sects; thus establishing the Pope as the head of theCatholic faith.
Although The Papal State and Rome have been annexed several times throughout history (most notable in the Napoleonic Wars), it is annexed permanently by Italy in 1870. Although since 1870, the Pope is still ruling in present day Vatican City. Due to the city's tiny size, the Pope is not actually playable in the Present Day bookmark (the same reason why Andorra, San Marino, and Monaco are not playable countries).
