Overview

There are many episodes throughout history that illustrate attempts to "tame" the papacy. Sometimes these have arisen in conflicts between the pope and secular authority; sometimes in theological conflicts; sometimes in both. Russell Shaw takes an in-depth look at this issue from both a historical perspective and a theological view. He examines the progressive program (limiting the exercise of authority by the pope and vesting greater authority in bishops and episcopal structures) and finally, provides an in-depth evaluation of it.
