Did you know that the Catholic Church is the oldest institution to exist in the Western world?
The Catholic Church has a history that spans over 2,000 years, and it began with none other than Jesus Christ himself. At least, that is what modern popes believe. But at first, there was just one church, and there was no division between Catholics, Protestants, Eastern Orthodox, and other branches of Christianity. Christians all over the known world were united, and together, they made their spirituality bloom. Their religion took over the lives of villagers, nobles, kings, queens, and even newly arrived pagan armies that came to conquer Europe.

- How Christ built the church on the rock that is Saint Peter

I have read a bit more in depth Christian history, that dealt with various leaders through the 16th century. But was nice to have some more information from that time, through today. obviously it couldn't be as detailed, due to space/time limitations. but it was still good. Sadly, my least favorite narrator was reading this, so I had to take a huge break from listening, in order to lessen my annoyance. the information at least made it more bearable
starting with the beginning

By the middle of the book I wasn't really sure what was going on. Very disappointing because I'm interested in the content.
Poor narration
