“The result of prodigious research, Shenon’s book is endlessly fascinating, insightful, and brilliantly told. Even at its significant length, it is always interesting and highly readable, and Shenon’s final analysis is inarguably a marvel.” —Booklist (starred review)
“A detailed, well-researched, and quite frankly epic examination of the Roman Catholic popes of living memory . . . [Shenon’s] assessments are honest and, at times, brutal . . . Apologists for the church will doubtlessly find plenty of reason to argue with Shenon, but he also gives them a great deal of material to defend. An extraordinary accomplishment: controversial, but crucial for discussions in today’s Catholic Church.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Insightful . . . Beginning with the reign of Pope Pius XII and the aftermath of World War II, the book explores the personalities, politics, and conflicts that marked each pope’s reign . . . Contributions from top theologians about the roles that various women played in papal households add considerable depth and detail to the stories of the popes.” —Library Journal (starred review)
“[Shenon] paints a richly detailed portrait of a complex, hierarchical, and secretive institution as it grappled with a modernizing world.” —Publishers Weekly
“Gripping. . . . a sweeping chronicle of the seven popes since the Second World War, starting with Pius XII and ending with Francis. It’s rich in narrative detail and will engross both neophytes and cognoscenti.” —Literary Review
“Gripping and damning.” —The Economist
“An impressive overview of the Catholic Church told in a neat, nuanced narrative that captures its triumphs along with its abysmal failures.” —Teddy Duncan Jr., Washington Independent Review of Books
