N2  - "This volume brings together the sayings and writings of the popes from every age, enabling the reader to trace the evolution of papal views and opinions. Each chapter places an issue in its historical context, reveals how official papal pronouncements were influenced by the experiences of individual popes, and explores the sometimes violent opposition that met papal statements and actions."--BOOK JACKET
