This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide(R) to the Popes and the Papacy (Paperback)
Found this book quite insightful. Kept my interest throughout. I learned many facts about both the Pope and the Papacy that I never knew. I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to explore the origins of Catholicism.

A good start, August 14, 2005
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide(R) to the Popes and the Papacy (Paperback)
I like this series and I was happy with this book. I am just sorry that a few things were left out like why was mandatory celibacy was introduced. (So that the Church could better control the clergy)But like I said its a good introduction to a very old and complex subject.
