"A handy reference work stunningly illustrated."â€•National Catholic Reporter. Updated to include Pope Benedict XVI.

This book recounts the lives and deeds of all 266 popes, from Peter to Benedict XVI.

With timelines, datafiles, quotations, and copious illustrations, Chronicle of the Popes is an essential reference book and a source of discovery and inspiration about one of the richest and most diverse institutions on earth. 317 illustrations, 112 in color
