Synopsis
The Catholic Church holds the allegiance of close to a billion people of every class, colour and political creed. Drawing on interviews with Catholics at every level, from prelates in the Vatican to the very poor in the barrios of Brazil, Edward Stourton tells the story of the revolution in the world's oldest and biggest institution. It is a story of high politics and great intellectual struggle - but it is also a story of intense personal passions covering everything from sex, contraception and personal morality to the ideological battle with communism, the Church's part in its collapse and the shift in the geographical focus of the Church to the developing world.
