State of the Church
We are the Rock of His Church. We stand upon hallowed foundations, and the Diocese of Rome - whether abroad or at home - shall be eternal.
"And I myself, in Rome, heard it said openly in the streets, “If there is a hell, then Rome is built on it.”"
- Martin Luther, Against the Roman Papacy, An Institution of the Devil (1545).

SEDE VACANTESince the death of His Holiness Pope Pius VI, who died in French captivity on 29 August 1799, there is a state of SEDE VACANTE.
During this mournful interregnum, the Sacred College of Cardinals holds the regency of the State of the Church.
Since 30 November 1799, a Papal Conclave is being held at the San Giorgio Monastery in Venice, to select a new Bishop of Rome.
