0,7,12,9,7,1,2

keywords: 

{'concordat': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'pope benedict xvi': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'roman catholic church': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'agreement': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'portugal': [4, 2, 7, 1]}

The correct answer is option 2.

Option 1 states that Concordat is an agreement between the Roman Catholic Church and the State, which is correct. A Concordat is indeed a bilateral agreement between the Catholic Church and a particular state or government.

Option 2 states that the President of Brazil did not sign a Concordat during Pope Benedict XVI`s visit to Brazil in 2007, which is also correct. During the Pope`s visit to Brazil in 2007, there was no official agreement signed between the Catholic Church and the Brazilian government.

Option 3 states that the Concordat of 2009 was signed between the Holy See and Portugal, which is incorrect. The Concordat of 2009 was actually signed between the Holy See (the highest authority of the Catholic Church) and Czech Republic, not Portugal.

In summary, only statements 1 and 2 are correct. The President of Brazil did not sign a Concordat during Pope Benedict XVI`s visit in 2007, and Concordats are agreements between the Roman Catholic Church and the State. Alert - The Concordat of 2009 was signed between the Holy See and Czech Republic, not Portugal.
