Huh, TIL the Catholic Church had lost all its territory to Italy and then later was granted some back (by Mussolini, no less) instead of having continuous sovereignty stemming from the Papal States and predating a unified Italy itself.
That's the second time in two days that I've been about to "ackchyually" somebody but ended up learning something myself instead. I'm getting more and more impressed with the quality of discussion here on Lemmy.
