This book is a study of Catholic reform, popular Catholicism and
the development of confessional identity in southwest Germany.
Based on extensive archival study, it argues that Catholic
confessional identity developed primarily from the identification
of villagers and townspeople with the practices of Baroque
Catholicism - particularly pilgrimages, processions,
confraternities and the Mass. Thus the book is in part a critique
of the confessionalization thesis which dominates scholarship in
this field. The book is not however focused narrowly on the
concerns of German historians. An analysis of popular religious
practice and of the relationship between parishioners and the
clergy in villages and small towns allows for a broader
understanding of popular Catholicism, especially in the period
after 1650. Local Baroque Catholicism was ultimately a successful
convergence of popular and elite, lay and clerical elements, which
led to an increasingly elaborate religious style.
