The typical American probably views the pope as a harmless old man presiding over an irrelevant institution; the typical Catholic outside the U.S. and many American Catholics as well sees him as the representative of God on Earth. The actual claims of the papacy are megalomaniacal: All power on Earth, political, ecclesiastical, and economic, belongs to the alleged successor of Peter. Dr. Hudson, a resident of Italy for many years, explains the origin and growth of papal power. - Publisher.
