Assaults on the dignity and rights of the human person have been central to the ongoing crisis of the modern era in the last hundred years.

This book takes a searching look at the roots of this problem and the various approaches to it by the eight men who led the Catholic Church in the twentieth century, from Pope St. Pius X and his crusade

against "Modernism" to Pope St. John Paul II and his appeal for a renewed rapprochement between faith and reason. Thus, it offers an interpretation of recent world events viewed through the lens of an ancient institution, the papacy.
