« back to classes page
The death of Pope Francis and the election of the
first US born Pope have been in the news repeatedly
in the last few months, capturing the imagination of
many people, including non-Catholics. Who are
these men? What are their life stories? How were
they similar to and different from each other? In this
course, we will discuss the lives and dominant
perspectives of the last ten Popes, exploring their
most significant positions and their influence on
world affairs.
