This book traces the papal line down the centuries from St Peter himself - traditionally (though by no means historically) the first pope - to the present Benedict XVI. From the legend of Pope Joan to the majestic pontiffs of the Renaissance, the Borgias and Medicis; from Reformation to Counter-Reformation; from Pius XII and the Holocaust to today's Benedict XVI, struggling to deal with appalling revelations of sexual misbehaviour within the Church - the pace never slackens.
