"Wills begins with a reflection on his early experience of faith as a child, and later as a Jesuit seminarian, revealing the importance of Catholicism in his own life. He goes on to challenge, in clear and forceful terms, the dogmatic claim that criticism or reform of the papacy is an assault on the faith itself.

In a sweeping narrative covering two thousand years of church history, he reveals that the papacy, far from being an unchanging institution, has been transformed dramatically over the millennia and can be reimagined in the future. Wills ends with a meditation on the significance of the creed, the timeless core of the Catholic faith, which endures even as the institution of the church changes.".

"Posing urgent questions for Catholic and non-Catholic readers alike, Why I Am a Catholic argues for the continuing relevance of a papacy understood as a symbol of unity, not of infallibility."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description

A selective history of the papacy (not much about the Borgias) sandwiched between a remembrance of a Jesuit education and an analysis of the Apostles' creed.
