This book examines the promotion of the sensuous as part of
religious experience in the Roman Catholic Church of the early
modern period. During the Counter-Reformation, every aspect of
religious and devotional practice was reviewed, including the role
of art and architecture, while the invocation of the five senses to
incite devotion became a hotly contested topic. The Protestants had
condemned the material cult of veneration of relics and images,
rejecting the importance of emotion and the senses and instead
promoting the power of reason in receiving the Word of God. After
much debate, the Church concluded that the senses are necessary to
appreciate the sublime, and that they derive from the Holy Spirit.
As part of its attempt to win back the faithful, the Church
embraced the sensuous and promoted the use of images, relics,
liturgy, processions, music and theatre as important parts of
religious experience.
