Many Italians in the early sixteenth century challenged Church
authority and orthodoxy, stimulated by religious 'Reformation'
debates and the lack of agreement on alternatives to Rome's
leadership. This book surveys and analyses the various positive and
negative responses which led to a re-formation of Church
institutions, and parish life for the lay population, especially
after the Council of Trent in 1563. Church, Religion and Society in
Early Modern Italy: - discusses the roles of bishops and parochial
clergy, seminaries and religious education - examines religious
orders and lay confraternities, particularly in relation to 'good
works' or philanthropy - explains the varied uses of the visual
arts, music, processions and festivities to enthuse and educate the
laity - pays special attention to two controversial issues: the
Inquisition's role and the stricter enclosure of nuns Comprehensive
yet approachable, Christopher F. Black's volume incorporates
diverse religious practices and experiences, and explores the
successes and failures of reform throughout mainland Italy during a
period of religious and social upheaval.
