This is my first post. The Vatican is recognized as a sovereign state, which you may know. What you may not know is the manner in which it became a sovereign state, approx 35 years ago.
The archbishop Cleveland, Paul
Marcinkus, was scheduled to Provide testimony regarding the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano, the Vatican Bank, or "God's Bank". The head of the bank, Roberto Calvi, was found hanged from the Blackfriar's Bridge in London. Marcinkus fled to the Vatican. The very next day they declared themselves a sovereign nation, putting Marcinkus out of reach due to diplomatic immunity.
Sorry I dont have dates. This was current news for me and I never forgot it. Probably read it in WSJ. I subscribed for 25 years and clipped it out but never filed it.

How is this related to Pizzagate? Interesting information, though.

The most powerful American in the Catholic church is Timothy Dolan, rumored to be the first American and next Pope.
He is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin which is nearby Racine, Wisconsin - an epicenter for Pizzagate and Global Criminal Corruption. Racine links the church with the mafia to cover up all kinds of crimes, including the very worst imaginable. Milwaukee and Racine have histories of pedo crimes, massive corruption, and cover ups.
The church is involved. It links back to Pilgrims Society and related groups. They are all part of Agenda 2030.

Thank you once again, Wisconsin_Is_Corrupt. I didn't know Dolan was from Milwaukee, I always assumed the Northeast, for whatever reason. Please keep me up-to-date. I spent the formative years of my life in Milwaukee. In Catholic Schools for 18 of them, no less!!!

Another pedo priest from St. Pius was just arrested in the last couple of weeks. It is an epidemic in Racine and Milwaukee, and covered up by the church. In Racine, a lot of corruption is tied to the catholic schools and churches, with links to Sicilians, Dominicans, Franciscans and other mafia ties.

Do you have any information on Thomas More H.S. or St Mary's Academy (now closed)?

The Catholic institutions in Racine, Wisconsin are completely corrupt and covering up abuse - look into the Sicilians, Dominicans and Franciscans. They are linked with Milwaukee, and also linked to mafia and secret society groups. The entire area is a cesspool of Pizzagate and Global Criminal Corruption.
