Pope Paul VI: A Pictorial Biography

Alternately praised and vilified, Pope, now Saint, Paul VI is perhaps one of the least understood pontiffs in modern history. Often caricatured by both liberals and conservatives, he will forever be known as the pope who ;held the line; on Church teaching regarding contraception through his landmark encyclical Humanae Vitae. Divided into four sections-his life, his papacy, his teachings, and his times and legacy-this pictorial biography of the Churchs newest saint is sure to be a treasured part of every Catholic library and home and a fitting commemoration of both his canonization and the fiftieth anniversary of the promulgation of his most famous document.
