  1. I really am impressed by the even-handed theological discussion happening on the Reason and Theology YouTube channel. Eric Ybarra is the resident Papacy expert and recently gave a very balanced list of recommended books on the topic. I haven’t read all these particular books, but knowing they are Eric’s top choices, I plan to and have no hesitations about recommending them to others who wish to do a deep dive into the topic.
