The concept of a Catholic theocracy has its roots in the early formation of the Church. After the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century, the Catholic Church emerged as one of the most powerful institutions in Europe, assuming not only spiritual authority but also significant political influence. The first true Catholic theocracy is often traced to the Papal States, established in the 8th century when Pope Stephen II sought protection from the Lombards and received land from the Frankish King Pepin the Short. This territory, later expanded by Pepin's son Charlemagne, became the Papal States, which were governed directly by the pope until the 19th century. | |||

Catholic Church.
