Wills draws on his expertise in classical languages and his wide reading in ecclesiastical history to argue that the Catholic/Orthodox priesthood has been one long mistake.
"The Washington Post"
How. . .did priests become dominant and then essential in Catholic Christianity? And why, Wills asks, in this provocative [and] historically rich . . . book, does the Vatican continue to sustain such falsehoods? . . . [C]rucially informative and enlightening.
"The New Republic"
Pulitzer Prize winner Wills, a venerable voice on church history, thought and practice, provides a stunning critique of the Roman Catholic priesthood.
"Kirkus Reviews"(starred)
Using his linguistic skills and his impressive command of both secondary literature and patristic sources, Wills raises doubts aplenty about the Melchizedek myth, and the priestly claims for Jesus in the idiosyncratic Epistle to the Hebrews His final chapter is a model of elegant simplicity, a contrast (intended or not) to the flummery often associated with his own church There is one God, and Jesus is one of his prophets, Wills concludes, and I am one of his millions of followers. For those millions, scattered across time and space, that s an affirmation worthy of celebration.
"The New York Times Book Review"

Praise for The Future of the Catholic Church with Pope Francis
"Is it possible, or even prudent, for an institution that has survived for 2,000 years to change?

--Publishers Weekly
Pope Francis, the first Jesuit pope and the first from the Americas, offers a challenge to his church. Can he bring about significant change? Should he?
Garry Wills, the Pulitzer Prize–winning historian, argues provocatively that, in fact, the history of the church throughout is a history of change. In this brilliant and incisive study, Wills describes the deep and serious changes that have taken place in the church or are in the process of occurring. These include the change from Latin, the growth and withering of the ecclesiastical monarchy, the abandonment of biblical literalism, the assertion and nonassertion of infallibility, and the erosion of church patriarchy. In such developments we see the living church adapting itself to new historical circumstances.
As Wills contends, it is only by examining the history of the church that we can understand Pope Francis’s and the church’s challenges today.
“A lively exercise in church history—history intended to orient us in the here and now. It is addressed not only to Catholics but to the entire church as ‘the People of God,’ . . . and to anyone else—practicing another religion or emphatically not—who is curious to learn how one of our foremost historians and public intellectuals understands his faith.” —The Chicago Tribune
