Description:
Covering the period from the French revolution to the fall of the Soviet Union, and ending with the pontificate of John Paul II, the first non-Italian pope since 1522, this is an examination of the response of this most ancient of institutions to the multiplying challenges of the modern age.
Expand description
The Papacy was involved -- as participant, observer, commentator and, occasionally, prime-mover -- in many of the great events of the day. Frank Coppa explores the Papal response to the French Revolution and political events like the Napoleonic conquests, the Italian and German unifications, the two World Wars and the Cold War. He also examines Rome's attitude to underlying shifts in ideology -- to liberal Catholicism, to imperialism, nationalism and communism and the growing concern of the popes for the Catholic world beyond its traditional European home.
