by: Marcellino D’Ambrosio, Ph.D.

Everyone knows that the Catholic Church is distinguished by a unique institution called the Papacy. But few people, including Catholics, understand the origins and purpose of this institution.

In this engaging CD [or tape], Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio clears up the confusion. He brings it all back to the beginning, to the person and role of Peter and the apostles, and even shows how the doctrine of Papal Infallibility has its origin in Scripture. Though Dr. D’Ambrosio, a historical theologian, brings a great breadth of knowledge to the subject, his presentation is fast-moving and characterized by a remarkable simplicity. Both Catholics and non-Catholics, experts and beginners, will find something new and helpful in this presentation.
