Definition:

While the word "treaty" is now used to describe formal agreements between nations without the involvement of the Roman Cult, such agreements are strictly not treaties--only legal agreements in which the Vatican is involved and agrees to its validity may be ultimately considered a valid treaty. Furthermore, all proper (Vatican related) treaties remain in force until the Holy See deems it so, regardless if one or more signatories later refuse to continue to recognize the agreement. That way, all Roman Cult Treaty are technically "until the end of time", or if a new one replaces it by mutual consent.
