•••••
As Christians, we base our faith on the papal office, which Christ gave power on to head His Church. Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, award-winning author, presents an unusual presentation of the papacy's grandeur and lasting influence in A Year with the Popes. This manual reads like an engaging parade through the history of the papacy, demonstrating its biblical foundations in Sacred Scripture and providing excerpts from Saint Peter's own letters from the New Testament before pivoting to recount the twists and turns of the papal ministry and the various men who have served as Saint Peter's successors.
Father Kirby delves into the triumphs of the good and saintly popes as well as the scandals of the bad, and provides papal teachings that occurred during monumental times such as the slave trade, the Line of Demarcation that prevented a European war, the Galileo affair, the establishment of a new calendar for the West, reactions to the twentieth-century world wars, the arrival of the sexual revolution, and more. A Year with the Popes, which avoids academic staleness and cold, stoic passages from documents, provides an inspiring confirmation of the divine nature of the papal office as it goes through history and analyses the teachings of these men known as the Vicars of Christ.
