Why I Am a Catholic - by Garry Wills (Paperback)

Why I Am a Catholic by Garry Wills is a thought-provoking and spiritually moving exploration of one of the most influential institutions in history - the papacy.

In this provocative work, Wills challenges the notion that criticism or reform of the papacy is an assault on the faith itself, arguing that a Catholic can be both loyal and critical.

Through a sweeping narrative covering two thousand years of church history, Wills reveals that the papacy has been transformed dramatically over time - and can be reimagined in the future.

At a time when the church faces one of its most difficult crises, Why I Am a Catholic offers an important and compelling entrée into the discussion of the church's past - and its future.

With intellectually brisk and spiritually moving prose, Wills poses urgent questions for Catholic and non-Catholic readers alike, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in the Catholic Church and its place in the world today.
