Chronicle of the Popes by Peter G Maxwell-Stuart
Recounts the lives, deeds and misdeeds of the 265 Popes from St Peter to Pope Benedict XVI. This book shows how the role has come full circle from selfconsciously spiritual office, through embroilment in political power, and back to its spiritual roots.
