Among the contributions of the medieval church to western culture
was the idea that marriage was one of the seven sacraments, which
defined the role of married folk in the church. Although it had
ancient roots, this new way of regarding marriage raised many
problems, to which scholastic theologians applied all their
ingenuity. By the late Middle Ages, the doctrine was fully
established in Christian thought and practice but not yet as dogma.
In the sixteenth century, with the entire Catholic teaching on
marriage and celibacy and its associated law and jurisdiction under
attack by the Protestant reformers, the Council of Trent defined
the doctrine as a dogma of faith for the first time but made major
changes to it. Rather than focusing on a particular aspect of
intellectual and institutional developments, this book examines
them in depth and in detail from their ancient precedents to the
Council of Trent.
