Abstract

Qu'on n'attende pas ici une étude exhaustive d'un groupe social émietté et diversifié, tant par ses origines, sa formation intellectuelle que par les fonctions exercées par ses membres. Le rapport introductif en souligne les clivages, tout en notant quelques traits communs : la jouissance d'un statut apportant immunité judiciaire et fiscale, mais qui suscite plus de critiques que de considération, en raison de l'écart entre l'idéal évangélique, souvent recherché, et la conduite des clercs, trop souvent relâchée. Du royaume de France à la Scandinavie, de la péninsule ibérique à Constantinople. surgissent les images contrastées des clergeons de cathédrales, des prêtres-filleuls formant une véritable plèbe ecclésiastique, des curés ruraux mal instruits, des dignitaires de chapitres et des évêques qui s'efforcent, tant bien que mal, de veiller au bon fonctionnement des institutions, de contrôler les mœurs du clergé et de lui assurer une médiocre formation continue, afin qu'il puisse mieux répondre à l'idéal sacerdotal. Les diverses communications qui suivent cherchent donc à préciser l'image du clerc dans la société médiévale, le recrutement, la formation, le ministère pastoral, à comprendre aussi comment, par delà la diversité des fonctions et les distances sociales, les clercs séculiers forment un corps, le cœtus clericorum, qui se regroupe dans des confréries ou dans des quartiers urbains spécifiques, étudiés par notre regretté collègue, Jean-Charles Picard, dont ce fut l'une des dernières interventions parmi nous. Si un ouvrage d'ensemble sur le clergé séculier au Moyen Âge est encore prématuré, il faut souhaiter que les contributions ici réunies permettent au lecteur de mieux comprendre la vie foisonnante d'un groupe essentiel de la société médiévale, dans ses idéaux comme dans ses contradictions.

Abstract

Sacrifice is a well known form of ritual in many world religions. Although the actual practice of animal sacrifice was largely abolished in the later history of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, it is still recalled through biblical stories, the ritual calendar and community events. The essays in this volume discuss the various positions regarding the value of sacrifice in a wide variety of disciplines such as history, archaeology, literature, philosophy, art, gender and post-colonial studies. In this context they examine a wide array of questions pertaining to the 'actuality of sacrifice' in various social, historical and intellectual contexts ranging from the pre-historical to the post-Holocaust, and present new understandings of some of the most sensitive topics of our time.

Abstract

The Roman Catholic leadership still refuses to ordain women officially or even to recognize that women are capable of ordination. But is the widely held assumption that women have always been excluded from such roles historically accurate? In the early centuries of Christianity, ordination was the process and the ceremony by which one moved to any new ministry (ordo) in the community. By this definition, women were in fact ordained into several ministries. A radical change in the definition of ordination during the eleventh and twelfth centuries not only removed women from the ordained ministry, but also attempted to eradicate any memory of women's ordination in the past. The debate that accompanied this change has left its mark in the literature of the time. However, the triumph of a new definition of ordination as the bestowal of power, particularly the power to confect the Eucharist, so thoroughly dominated western thought and practice by the thirteenth century that the earlier concept of ordination was almost completely erased. The ordination of women, either in the present or in the past, became unthinkable. References to the ordination of women exist in papal, episcopal and theological documents of the time, and the rites for these ordinations have survived. Yet, many scholars still hold that women, particularly in the western church, were never "really" ordained. A survey of the literature reveals that most scholars use a definition of ordination that would have been unknown in the early middle ages. Thus, the modern determination that women were never ordained, Macy argues, is a premise based on false terms. Not a work of advocacy, this important book applies indispensable historical background for the ongoing debate about women's ordination.
