Deadly Wound Healed.
In 1796, French Republican troops under the command of Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Italy, defeated the papal troops and occupied Ancona and Loreto. Mussolini signs the Lateran Pact of 1929, which brought into being the Vatican City State. Even Catholic newspapers reporting the event declared the "wound" to be healed by the Lateran Treaty. Here is a page from The Catholic Advocate, published in Brisbane, Australia on April 18th, 1929.
Pope Pius VI sued for peace, which was granted at Tolentino on February 19, 1797; but on December 28 of that year, in a riot blamed by papal forces on some Italian and French revolutionists, the popular brigadier-general Mathurin-Léonard Duphot, who had gone to Rome with Joseph Bonaparte as part of the French embassy, was killed and a new pretext was furnished for invasion.
General Berthier marched to Rome, entered it unopposed on February 10, 1798, and, proclaiming a Roman Republic, demanded of the Pope the renunciation of his temporal power.
Upon his refusal he was taken prisoner, and on February 20 was escorted from the Vatican to Siena, and thence to the Certosa near Florence. The French declaration of war against Tuscany led to his removal (he was escorted by the Spaniard Pedro Gómez Labrador, Marquis of Labrador) by way of Parma, Piacenza, Turin and Grenoble to the citadel of Valence, the chief town of Drôme where he died six weeks after his arrival, on August 29, 1799, having then reigned longer than any Pope.
Pius VI's body was embalmed, but was not buried until January 30, 1800 after Napoleon saw political advantage to burying the deceased Pope in efforts to bring the Catholic Church back into France.
Napoleon realized the importance of religion as a means to increase obedience and his control over the French. It was not until the conclave of Cardinals had gathered to elect a new Pope that Napoleon decided to bury Pope Pius VI who had died several weeks earlier.
Lateran Concordat of 1929 - Papal Wound Healed!
VATICAN CITY STATE CELEBRATES 80 YEARS
On February 11th, 1929, an historic treaty was signed between the Italian Government and the Vatican re-establishing the political power and diplomatic standing of the Catholic Church, which had been lost when Italy seized Rome, the last of the Papal States, on September 20th, 1870.

Italy and the Roman Catholic Church have healed wounds!
November 15, 2002
Excerpt from an article by NICOLE WINFIELD, Associated Press:
ROME--Pope John Paul II made a historic speech to Italy's parliament Thursday, urging Italians to work for world peace, uphold their Christian values and have more babies.
The visit--the first time a pope has appeared before the Italian parliament--underscored the warmth that the country feels for the Polish-born John Paul, the first non-Italian pontiff in 455 years.
It also showed Italy and the Roman Catholic Church have healed wounds that a century ago prompted popes to call themselves ''prisoners'' of the Vatican rather than accept Italy's government as legitimate.
VATICAN AND ITALY SIGN PACT RECREATING A PAPAL STATE;
60 YEARS OF ENMITY ENDED; THRONGS CHEER IN STREETS
Acclaim Gasparri and Mussolini, Signers of Three Agreements.

ROME, Feb. 11.--The Pope is again an independent sovereign ruler, as he was throughout the Middle Ages, though his temporal realm, established today, is the most microscopic independent State in the world, and probably the smallest in all history. — THE NEW YORK TIMES, Tuesday, February 12, 1929.
Benito Mussolini reads his credentials prior to signing the Lateran Treaty on behalf of King Victor Emmanuel III. Cardinal Gasparri (seated), signed on behalf of Pope Pius XI.
Mussolini signs the Lateran Pact of 1929, which brought into being the Vatican City State. Cardinal Gasparri signs the Lateran Concordat as Mussolini looks on.
Revelation 13:3
One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.
Revelation 13:12
It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.
Revelation 13:14
Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
Newspapers at the time even proclaimed the "wound" to the Vatican as "healed". Here on the left is an article from the February 12th, 1929 edition of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The same story from page two of the Reno Nevada State Journal of Tuesday, February 12, 1929.

The story also reported by the Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune, June 7, 1929.
Text of the Lateran Treaty of 1929. Text in Italian - Vatican Web Site.
The agreement signed 70 years ago by Benito Mussolini and Cardinal Gasparri, on behalf of the King Victor Emmanuel III and Pope Pius XI, restored the full diplomatic and political power of the Holy See of Rome. And today, all the world indeed "wonders" at the revived power of the Roman Catholic Church, the epitome of Church and State combined and a major player in global politics. Pope Pius XI himself commented on the concordat, and his restored power, in the first ten paragraphs of his ( encyclical Quinquagesimo Ante ) which is available online.
