Since the dawn of the Enlightenment, modernity and the Papacy have
experienced a difficult though never severed relationship. The
Modern Papacy goes beyond the caricatures to demonstrate how the
popes - specifically John Paul II and Benedict XVI - have
articulated a sophisticated critique of the post-Enlightenment
world, one that acknowledges the real progress made in modernity
while simultaneously highlighting its political and philosophical
shortcomings. Far from falling on deaf ears, the nature of their
engagement with the modern world has sparked criticism and praise
from Catholics and non-Catholics alike - sometimes in surprising
ways. Whether the subject is faith and reason, religion and the
modern sciences, the roots and future of Europe, or the origin and
ends of human freedom, John Paul II and Benedict XVI pose questions
that simply cannot be ignored, regardless of whether one likes
their answers.
