The Power of Religious Societies in Shaping Early Modern Society
and Identities studies the value system of the French Catholic
community the Filles de la Charite, or the Daughters of Charity, in
the first half of the seventeenth century. An analysis of the
activities aimed at edifying morality in the different strata of
society revealed a Christian anthropology with strong links to
medieval traditions. The book argues that this was an important
survival strategy for the Company with a disconcerting religious
identity: the non-cloistered lifestyle of its members engaged in
charity work had been made unlawful in the Council of Trent.
Moreover, the directors Louise de Marillac and Vincent de Paul also
had to find ways to curtail internal resistance as the sisters
rebelled in quest of a more contemplative and enclosed vocation.
