This study is a comprehensive history of the papacy, the oldest
elective office in the world, and how it has managed over the
centuries the most complex voluntary association of faith. The book
argues that in fact through most of its existence, the papacy has
adapted managerial models of the secular world and applied them to
the Catholic Church. Since its emergence from the Jewish synagogues
to a persecuted minority in the Roman Empire to becoming the
established religion of the West, the Church and the papacy engaged
the world on its own terms. It is only after the Council of Trent
did the Church become somewhat more divorced and estranged from the
environment around it. This book focused on those changes and on
the great popes across the centuries who reformed and altered
Catholicism. Special attention is directed to Gregory I, Innocent
I, Innocent III, Pius IX, Leo XIII, Pius XI, Pius XII, John XXVII,
Paul VI, and John Paul II. The conclusion is that the persistence
of the Catholic Church for so many centuries was due to its ability
to preserve the faith, but re-establish its forms and managerial
class.
