100 Important Events in Catholic History

About the Book

During the nearly twenty centuries of its existence, the Catholic Church has seen its share of saints, doctrinal disputes, schisms, wars and many other events. In this book John F. Fink has the audacity to try to select 100 of the most important of those events and write briefly about each one. (A Postscript lists fifty more.) Taken together, they present a short history of the Catholic Church that should be of interest to Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
