Synopsis
The more advances in the social and physical sciences, the more the Catholic Church has to seemingly backpedal to maintain the stringency of its tradition. Wills's book, PAPAL SIN, is an exploration of this phenomenon, a look at the deceit that underlies the piety of one of the largest world religions. A New York Times Notable Book for 2000.

Publisher's Note
Wills describes a papacy that seems steadfastly unwilling to face the truth about itself, its past, and its relations with others. the refusal of the authorities of the church to admit that they could err or do wrong to others has needlessly exacerbated their original mistakes. Even when the Vatican has tried to tell the truth--e.g., about Catholics and the Holocaust--it has ended up resorting to distortion, evasion, and blindness. The same is true when the papacy has attempted to deal with its record of discrimination against women, or with its unbelievable assertion that "natural" law dictates it sexual code....Wills traces the rise of the papacy's stubborn resistance to the truth, beginning with the challenges posed in the nineteenth century by science, democracy, scriptural scholarship, and rigorous history. The legacy of that resistance, despite the brief flare of John XXIII's papacy and some good initiatives in the 1960s by the Second Vatican Council (later baffled), is still strong in the Vatican.

Industry reviews
"Sadly and alarmingly, the accusatory and even seemingly sensational title of Garry Wills's new book faithfully reflects his meticulous research into the past and present of the Roman Catholic Church, very much including the long reign of Pope John Paul II....In the end, PAPAL SIN represents a significant contribution to the understanding of the process of change...."
Washington Post - Tad Szulc (06/04/2000)

"Wills, an eminent historian and one of the most intellectually distinguished members of the Catholic laity in the United States, has written a devastating, no-holds-barred indictment....The momentum of his splendidly passionate polemic leaves him confronting the question: Would an ideally honest and free church of Christ still be a church?"
New York Times - Richard Rorty (06/11/2000)

"PAPAL SIN has been called a jeremiad, a tirade and a polemic, and it is all three....But what is most disappointing is the foreshortening of moral vision in Wills' headlong rush."
Chicago Tribune  (07/17/2000)
