This is a fascinating study of the nine men who became Pope from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Dr. Riccards chronicles their lives and times, the issues and events of their papacy, and their styles of leadership. They each had to discern the sprit of the age and ultimately take their stand in opposition to movements that they perceived went against the gospel and the Roman Catholic Church. These men were uniquely instrumental in shaping the church as it is today.

An indictment of the papacy and the Catholic Church, charging them with lust for power, suppression of the truth, and inhumanity throughout the centuries. On pp. 181-203, "Persecuting Witches and Jews", surveys the attitudes of popes toward the Jews. Details the anti-Jewish measures of Pope Paul IV, particularly in his bull "Cum nimis absurdum" (1555) which mandated the segregation of Jews in ghettos. Describes forced baptisms in the 17th-19th centuries, including the case of Edgar Mortara. Discusses the silence of Pius XII during the Holocaust, John XXIII's goodwill towards the Jews, and the limited effects of Vatican Council II, mentioning positively John Paul II's visit to the Rome synagogue in 1986.
