Written by the Church Father some regard as the most profound liturgist of the Middle Ages, who took the throne of St. Peter at just thirty-seven years old, already renowned as a learned theologian and celebrated jurist. 

 He approved the founding of new religious orders like the Dominicans and the Franciscans. During his reign, scholastic theology flourished, and he called the momentous Fourth Lateran Council, implemented reforms in canon law, university education, and the church hierarchy.

This book explains his theology of fleshly, sacramental, spiritual, & personal marriage. Fleshly, between a man and his lawful wife; sacramental, between Christ and holy Church; spiritual, between God and the just soul; personal, between the Word and human nature. It also brings keen insight into how the holy mysteries of the Mass enrich each one.
