Point: The papacy is a global institution with incredible influence but no Scriptural support.<\/p>\n

Path: The author helps the non-Catholic navigate the question of the Papacy by explaining its origins, its history, its influence, and its current manifestations.<\/p>\n

Favorite Quote: \u201c\u2026the official titles of the Pope: \u2018Bishop of Rome\u2019 \u2018Vicar of Jesus Christ\u2019 \u2018Successor of the prince of the Apostles\u2019 (i.e. Peter) \u2018Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church\u2019 \u2018Primate of Italy\u2019 and \u2018Archbishop and Metro-politan of the Roman Province\u2019 \u2018Sovereign of the State of the Vatican City\u2019 \u2018Servant of God\u2019s servants\u2019. This list of Papal titles is astonishing and covers various religious offices, political tasks and organizational responsibilities. Each title provides a different perspective on the Papal office, and taken as a whole they help one appreciate who the Pope is and what he does\u201d (Kindle, 97).<\/p>\n

Stars:\u00a0 4 out of 5<\/p>\n
