"If you're going to criticize the Pope, why bother to remain Catholic? Garry Wills takes the time to answer this question in an accessible and literate way."
"good in terms of contextualizing the papacy and the constructed nature of what many Catholics take as unquestionable and constant. wish there was more on the saints, and other aspects of Catholicism with the same historical context as the papacy... but a good read all the same"
"A good book which explains why the author, who is very critical of the Papacy, still considers himself a good Catholic. Unfortunately, the book was not what I was looking for since it is very personal and does not really explain why the rest of us should remain Catholics. It's too bad because I think that Mr. Wills is the most insightful and intelligent author writing about Catholicism today."
