Pope Pius XI declared private property essential for the development and freedom of the individual, and those who deny private property also deny personal freedom and development. Pius also said that private property has a social function and loses its morality, if it is not subordinated to the common good, and governments have a right to redistribution policies. In extreme cases, the Pope grants the state a right of expropriation of private property.<sup id="cite_ref-Quadragesimo_Anno_114-115_34-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Quadragesimo_Anno_114-115-34"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Capital_and_labour">Capital and labour</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Pope_Pius_XI&amp;action=edit&amp;section=9" title="Edit section: Capital and labour"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A related issue, said Pius, is the relation between capital and labour and the determination of fair wages.<sup id="cite_ref-Quadragesimo_Anno_63-75_38-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Quadragesimo_Anno_63-75-38"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Pius develops the following ethical mandate: The Church considers it a perversion of industrial society to have developed sharp opposite camps based on income. He welcomes all attempts to alleviate these differences. Three elements determine a fair wage: the worker's family, the economic condition of the enterprise, and the economy as a whole. The family has an innate right to development, but this is only possible within the framework of a functioning economy and a sound enterprise.

According to the terms of the treaty that was one of the agreed documents, <a href="/wiki/Vatican_City" title="Vatican City">Vatican City</a> was given sovereignty as an independent nation in return for the Vatican relinquishing its claim to the former territories of the Papal States. Pius XI thus became a head of state (albeit the smallest state in the world), the first Pope who could be termed a head of state since the Papal States fell after the unification of Italy in the 19th century. The concordat that was another of the agreed documents of 1929 recognised Catholicism as the sole religion of the state (as it already was under Italian law, while other religions were tolerated), paid salaries to priests and bishops, gave civil recognition to church marriages (previously couples had to have a civil ceremony), and brought religious instruction into the public schools.
