Reseña del editor:

The battle lines are drawn.

On one side are the progressives who seek to weaken the office of the papacy through a systematic program of robbing the Pope of his authority.

On the other are those who desire to bring the papal office into the 21st century with changes that are consistent with Catholic teaching and which serve the interests of the Church as a whole.

Here are just a few of the important issues covered in this comprehensive discussion:
-- The progressive program which would limit the exercise of authority by the pope and vest greater authority in bishops and episcopal structures
-- A clear summary of relevant historical and theological data surrounding the papal office
-- A thoroughly Catholic understanding of one of the most hotly debated issues in contemporary Catholicism
-- Review of many of the controversies swirling around the papacy in recent years, as well as revelations where the challenges are coming from, their history, and their flaws

If you want to know what's really going on behind efforts to "tame the Pope", you owe it to yourself -- and your Church -- to read this provocative new examination of the conflict over the role of the successors of St. Peter in the life of the universal Church.
