View From The Round House With Martin Drum - The Pope, The Papacy, The Vatican As A State

Welcome back to our politics podcast, View From The Round House With Martin Drum.

Well, with the Federal election pretty much over – bar some shouting in Goldstein – and the Ministers in the new Albanese Government appointed, and so much happening in the Middle East just now, the Prof and I decided to turn out attention to another election – that of Il Papa – the Pope. We chat Francis and Leo, the influence of the Papacy, and how the Vatican works as a State in international law terms. Enjoy!
