Title: A history of the popes
Description: A History of the Popes illuminates the stunning biographies of the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church over the past 2000 years. You'll learn that many popes lived under the constant threat of violence, and were either killed or forced to flee Rome for their lives. Some brought enlightenment and hope to their flock, while others used the office to promote their own agendas and enrich their fortunes. -- from fly leaf page.
