Popes and the Papacy
A two-thousand-year-old institution, the papacy has endured through centuries by adapting to the world’s upheavals. As spiritual leaders of the Catholic Church, popes have also been political figures, reformers, builders, and at times sources of controversy. From Peter’s primacy to modern conclaves, through Avignon, the schisms, and the Council of Trent, papal history is inseparable from Europe’s broader story. The Vatican, both a state and a religious symbol, embodies this continuity. It is a world of rites, doctrines, diplomatic stakes, and influential figures who have shaped the institution and its global presence.
