It was interesting, in fact at times it was more than that. If you think about the popes as historical versions of what we've seen in our lifetimes, then you could not be more wrong, and this course will be very surprising. For a significant number of years the popes were not only lacking in what we would call spirituality or holiness, they often seemed to be more preoccupied with power, ruling and money than with the spiritual health of the church. There were some who were shocking in their personal lives, and there were times when there were 2 and sometimes three men all claiming to be the rightful pope. Then there were also true men of God who carried out difficult tasks in difficult times. I can look at the history of the papacy and come away convinced that the only way the church could have survived is by God's keeping. If church history interests you, this is a worthwhile adventure. The scary thing is that this is just an overview. I came away wondering about the details of some of the events and wishing i had time to dive in deeper.

HTML: 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. .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
