“Not only is Duffy an elegant stylist; he is the best qualified
person in the English-speaking world to write on [this] subject.
You will not, therefore, be disappointed in these 10
sketches.”—John W. O’Malley, America

"First presented as radio broadcasts, these 10 insightful profiles
from a world-class historian are well worth your time."—Dan
Connors, Catholic Digest
*Catholic Digest*
"[Duffy's] introduction and very selective bibliography are worth
the book’s price, and his essays are simply brilliant. Academic
libraries should obtain this to prove to dubious students that
scholarly writing need not be dry or obfuscating, and parish
libraries will appreciate the book’s
brevity and delightful style. Most highly recommended."—Daniel
Boice, Catholic Library World
*Catholic Library World*
"[P]erceptive and persuasive . . . Duffy offers brief, lucid
narratives and convincing interpretations of the considerable
significance of each of the ten popes included."—W.L. Pitts Jr.,
