Papal Primacy in the Third Millenium
Item Number: 1652
Russell Shaw
The battle lines are drawn. On one side are the progressives who seek to weaken the office of the papacy through a systematic program of robbing the pope of his authority.
On the other are those who desire to bring the papal office into the twenty-first century with changes that are consistent with Catholic teaching and that serve the interests of the Church as a whole.
If you want to know what's really going on behind efforts to "tame the pope," you owe it to yourself - and your Church - to read this provocative new examination of the conflict over the role of the successors of St. Peter in the life of the universal Church.
"With engaging skill, Shaw outlines the historical foundations of the current debate. A seasoned journalist, he analyzes the various reform proposals without polemics. He also offers some proposals of his own, gleaned from his many years of service. The result is an outstanding, balanaced, and very readable primer which ought to be enjoyed by everyone interested in the future of the Church."
- Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M.Cap., Archbishop of Denver
