The story of the Papacy parallels the story of Western Civilization from the founding of the Christian Church through the end of the second millennium and beyond. The popes have also come to oversee a faith-community of one billion members throughout the world. This course will explore this enduring and influential institution - one that has outlived empires, kingdoms, dynasties, and states in world history - not only through the office itself, but also through the human dimensions of the popes in their roles as administrators, political leaders, and patrons of culture and learning. Prerequisite: ENGL 101 and 102. (Global Issues/Nonwestern Studies) Three semester hours.
