Pope: The Most Powerful Man in History - CNN

Go inside the Vatican to reveal how popes have used their power to shape the course of world history.
www.cnn.com www.cnn.com
The six-part part series, which will play Sunday nights at 10 starting March 11, is subdivided into some novel plots of papal territory. Episode 1—predictably enough—is titled “The Rise of the Pope,” an origin story covering Jesus’ commission of St. Peter as his institutional rock; the perceived threat to Rome of early Christian sects; their own internecine warfare; Constantine’s embrace of the faith, the Council of Nicaea, Constantinople, the sacking of Rome, the Crusades and the origins of an East-West schism that persists in various ways today. A commentator draws a parallel to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001; another is made to Pope Francis, whose various gestures of outreach to the Muslim world are seen as attempts to remedy, among other things, the 1,000-year-old sins of Urban II.

Ugh, same old double standard when it comes to Islam. Pope Urban is the bad guy and no mention made of the Muslim Caliphate’s global pretensions. I think I’m going to puke.
 
Sounds great. There will likely be some historical inaccuracies and maybe some bias but it’s attention on the Catholic Church and that’s good. Maybe it will lead more to think about the faith.
 
I won’t watch it… they are playing for ratings. I have no hope that they will not produce a hit piece. This network has no credibility to produce an unbiased program.

No thanks!
 
Thanks for posting where to watch it. You simplified it a great deal for me!
I didn t find it charged one way or another,more of a light brief historical overview…
Perhaps I was expecting worse…
