History of the Papacy

A new edition of the book, published in Hungary in 1982, and in Russia in 1996. After the collapse of the socialist bloc, the author, having freed himself from the rigid confines of historical materialism, significantly revised and supplemented the... text, resulting in a fundamentally different book, unbound by ideological dogmas.
The book is aimed at a broad readership and covers 20 centuries of the history of papal spiritual authority and the church state from the Apostle Peter to John Paul II.
Persecutions of the early Christians, the struggle for investiture with the German emperors, the Crusades, the Avignon Captivity, the sale of indulgences, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, religious wars – all victories and defeats, reforms, intrigues, famous bulls and Councils, saints and sinners on the papal throne, all of this can be found in the fascinating and reliable book by Jenő Gergely.
