Summary
Internationally best-selling author, renowned professor, and the dean of American Catholic Historians, Fr. John O’Malley presents his monumental course on the papacy. This masterpiece series covers the most fascinating history in the Western world. Now, you can trace the amazing history of the papacy, the oldest still-functioning institution of any kind in the Western world in 36 erudite lectures.
By focusing on popes who shaped vital moments in global history, you will gain a deep understanding of the people, issues, and ideas that gave us the Catholic church and our world.
The story features both trouble and triumph - and Fr. O'Malley deftly tackles both aspects - but above all, it tells of resilience. You will be enthralled as you listen to Fr. O'Malley explaining how pope after pope responded to challenges from barbarians, "Christian" monarchs, disgruntled bishops, and, above all, the faults and failures of human nature in order to guide Peter's bark through the rugged seas of time.
This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

An exciting and informative journey through the development of The Papacy
I loved the great sweep of papal history that is here presented in its wider European and world historical context. The author gives a broadly sympathetic perspective on the institution but is objective.

Engaging
Would read more by this author. Very interesting didn’t want to put it down. Left me wanting more history of the church and fathers.

Couldn’t get past 1st chapter
I absolutely indulge myself in the histories of topics such as the papacy, however John W. O’Malley’s narration is horrendous!! It is far too drawn out, there is no excitement in his voice in what he is describing. The topic as interested as I may be has been utterly ruined due to this narrator
