In order to grasp the real situa- tion and the thought present in the mind of these authors, due allowance should be made for this apparent looseness of terminology. Provisions contained in the foregoing statute show clearly that Italy had no intention of disturbing the prerogatives of the Pope as sovereign pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church. The inviola- bility of person accorded to him in the first clauses of this law is an attribute belonging to every sovereign and to no one else. Moreover..., he is expressly guar- anteed the dignity and honors of royal rank. The place of his residence or tem- porary sojourn is exempted from any control or interference by the Govern- ment of Italy or its officials. The same exemption is extended to conclaves and oecumenical councils. 51 PAPAL SOVEREIGNTY Provision is made whereby the Pope may send and receive envoys under the same protection and immunities enjoyed by diplomatic agents to and from the king. Ample facilities are provided for communication by mail and telegraph be- tween the sovereign pontiff and the entire world, including the hierarchy and mem- bership of the Roman Catholic Church in every land.
