The world's largest Christian denomination with 1.2 billion members, the Catholic Church is the world's oldest social organization and has played a key role in the development of Western civilization. The path from Jewish sect to world religion has been a tortuous one: the Catholic Church has been persecuted and become a persecutor, it has gained power but become mired in corruption, it has preached moral purity but become involved in dirty scandals. This book takes the reader from the great persecution of Christians in ancient Rome through centuries of brutal witch-hunts and heretics by the famous Grand Inquisitor Torquemada to the Holy See's collaboration with the Nazis during World War II and dispassionately tells of heresies and pogroms, Mother Teresa and priests martyred for the faith, papal purges and corrupt clergy, false prophets and godless pontiffs.
