"High-minded cultural criticism, concise, rhetorically agile, lit
up by Douthat's love for the Roman Catholic Church....an adroit,
perceptive, gripping account....It's strong stuff, conversationally
lively and expressive."—The New York Times Book Review
"Erudite and thought-provoking....weaves a gripping account of
Vatican politics into a broader history of Catholic intellectual
life to explain the civil war within the church....Douthat manages
in a slim volume what most doorstop-size, more academic church
histories fail to achieve: He brings alive the Catholic 'thread
that runs backward through time and culture, linking the
experiences of believers across two thousand years.' He helps us
see that Christians have wrestled repeatedly with the same
questions over the past two millennia."—The Washington Post
“Absorbing.”—Booklist
"A powerfully prophetic work whose sobriety and fairness magnifies
the force of its warning. Pope Francis is leading a theological
revolution whose recklessness beggars belief, and the effects of
which stand to be more epochal than most Catholics realize. Ross
Douthat reads the signs of these anxious times with acute clarity
and far-seeing vision. To Change the Church is must
reading for every Christian who cares about the fate of the West
and the future of global Christianity."—Rod Dreher, author
of The Benedict Option
