The Immense Power of Christianity
#27
RE: The Immense Power of Christianity
Quote:Among many other forms forms of power, the Queen still has the theoretical right to appoint a Prime Minister if require


Do you not understand the distinction between the words 'titular' (in name) and 'de facto'? (in fact/practice)

.
Quote:There are theocratic nations in existence that allow citizens "freedom of worship." Vatican City (Roman Catholic Theocracy) is a good example of such.

I said "not usually the case in a theocratic state'",which is true.

PLUS, The Vatican HAS NO CITIZENS,only residents. Each resident (including the Pope) retains their original citizenship only. The Vatican is a defacto state because many(not all) countries recognise it as such due to cynical and meaningless Lateran Treaty of 1928 with Mussolini. TECHNICALLY (under international law) the Vatican is NOT a state. It meets NONE of the criteria for statehood, beginning with territory and citizens.

Reference: The 'statehood' of The Vatican is explored in depth 'The Case Of The Pope" by Geoffrey Roberston QC, renowned juror and expert in international law.

You speak ex rectum..
