Dense and full of tangents into various players, as well as an enormous number of names and movements to keep track of and weigh their various intentions and machinations against one another, but fascinating and really gave me an appreciation for John Henry Newman, as well as a much more clear view of the sociopolitical situation facing the Church in Europe in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Excellent and thorough bibliography for further reading and research.
