## Description

More than a billion Roman Catholics throughout the world today look to the pope for guidance and leadership. Despite the papacy's enormous influence, how much do you really know about this ancient and powerful institution?  Catholics and non-Catholics alike will enjoy these 24 illuminating lectures about this remarkable institution. Professor Noble gives you priceless insights into the dramatic history of the papal office and the lives of the men who represented it.  You'll follow four critical strands of papal history over 2,000 years: the history of the "Petrine" idea; the history of an institution; the history of popes and antipopes; the history of Western civilization; and you'll look inside the Vatican's doors and discover fresh views on the institution's people, ideas, traditions, and routines, as well as the important roles played by organizations like the Curia and the Secretariat of State. You'll investigate the mechanisms by which the church not only ministers to its worldwide flock but also deals with the practical realities of its administration.  Filled with interesting stories and remarkable insights, this course promises to educate, enlighten, and entertain you.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent Discussion of the Popes and the Origin of the Papacy
  

*by T***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2018*

Dr. Thomas Noble does an excellent job of discussing the origins of the Papacy in Rome and  the development of Catholic theology surrounding the popes. The first few lectures provided some much needed analysis of the early church; which so often gets overlooked in other courses. The same can be said for his discussion about church politics and the involvement of the Franks, Germans, Normans and other regional players in the process that has led to the creation of the modern Papacy located in the Vatican City today. Dr. Noble did a particularly in depth job covering the popes of the late 19th and early to mid 20th Century; addressing the problems faced by popes during the 1st and 2nd World Wars. I would definitely recommend this lecture series to anyone with an interest in the history of the Catholic Church or the Papacy that directs it.
