Published in honor of John C. Olin, Professor Emeritus of History
at Fordham University, for his many contributions to the study of
Catholic reform in the sixteenth century, this is an assembly of
nine essays on Catholic religious orders of that period. The
contributors devote attention to the spirituality of the founder(s)
and to the specific apostolate of the order. The focus of the
essays is on the religious communities that were founded between
1524, when the Theatines arose, and 1621, when the Piarists were
recognized by the papacy as a religious order. Most of these orders
were founded for reasons unrelated to the crisis posed by
Protestantism, but they were soon enlisted by the hierarchy to
counteract its effects. If the Council of Trent (1545-1563) can be
considered the architect of Catholic reform and renewal, and the
papacy and episcopate as its enforcer, surely the religious orders
of men and women in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries
ought to be considered as the initiators or disseminators of reform
while serving as missionaries, teachers, preachers, catechists, and
confessors. The contributors are: Kenneth J. Jorgensen, S.J.,
Albertus Magnus College; Elisabeth G. Gleason, University of San
Francisco; Richard L. DeMolen, Erasmus of Rotterdam Society;
Charmarie J. Blaisdell, Northeastern University; John W. O'Malley,
S.J., Weston School of Theology; Jodi Bilinkoff, University of
North Carolina-Greensboro; John Patrick Donnelly, S.J., Marquette
University; Wendy M. Wright, Creighton University; Paul F.
Grendler, University of Toronto.
