Internationally best-selling author, renowned professor, and the “dean of American Catholic Historians,” Fr. John O’Malley presents his monumental course on the papacy.
This masterpiece series covers the most fascinating history in the Western world.
Now you can trace the amazing history of the papacy, the oldest still-functioning institution of any kind in the Western world, in 36 erudite lectures. By focusing on popes that shaped vital moments in global history, you will gain a deep understanding of the people, issues, and ideas that gave us the Catholic church and our world. The story features both trouble and triumph—and Fr. O’Malley deftly tackles both aspects—but above all, it tells of resilience. You will be enthralled as you listen to Fr. O’Malley explains how pope after pope responded to challenges from barbarians, “Christian” monarchs, disgruntled bishops, and, above all, the faults and failures of human nature in order to guide Peter’s bark through the rugged seas of time.

practically like a conversation
2,000 years of Papal History with Fr john O’Malley, SJ, has a style of presentation that makes it practically like a conversation, and insights step-by-step in a complex history. The course made me wish he could have gone on into Benedict, and even Francis = realizing of course that the lessons were completed during Benedict’s time, and now Francis.

Made each Pope very real to me.
Hearing about each of the popes in turn and the interesting details about their lives and interactions with the Church, with others, and their internal struggles made them very real to me.

An engaging and informative course!
John O’Malley’s encyclopedic mastery of church history, combined with his creative and humorous command of English, synergize to create an engaging and informative course!

So necessary
I particularly liked the overview of the History of the Popes as it set the Papacy in perspective – so necessary in this time of change and transformation of the role by Pope Frances. Blessings on John O’Malley!

Fall Survey: October 2016
We Catholics know so little about our history and our faith. The course on the Popes was an eye opener. We can’t go forward without knowing what you are built on.
