This book tells the story of how eighteenth-century German
Catholics rethought the Church. Educated German Catholics
envisioned a Church that would solidify the link between religion,
civilization, and morality. The first account of the German
Catholic Enlightenment, this book explores the ways in which
eighteenth-century Germans reconceived the relationship between
religion, society, and the state. Seeking a balance between Germany
and Rome, Catholic reformers desired a national Church that would
enjoy a large measure of autonomy but would still be in communion
with the universal Church. In trying to reform the Church, educated
Catholics in the Holy Roman Empire questioned not only what it
meant to be Catholic, but also what it meant to be German. In the
process, they created German Catholicism. Arguing that German
confessional identities were recast in the eighteenth century, this
book forces a revision of our understanding of the German
Enlightenment and its place in modern German history.
