Abstract

Alexander III's papacy marked a significant watershed in the history of the Western Church and society.

Individual chapters cover topics such as Alexander's contributions to Western Church Law and his relations with Byzantium, the Holy Land, central and northern Italy, France, Spain and England, but the dominant theme is the major clashes between secular and spiritual authority, in particular

Abstract

This book is the first cultural history of papal authority in late antiquity. While most traditional histories posit a 'rise of the papacy' and examine popes as politicians, theologians and civic leaders, Kristina Sessa focuses on the late Roman household and its critical role in the development of the Roman church from c.350-600. She argues that Rome's bishops adopted the ancient elite household as a model of good government for leading the church. Central to this phenomenon was the classical and biblical figure of the steward, the householder's appointed agent who oversaw his property and people. As stewards of God, Roman bishops endeavored to exercise moral and material influence within both the pope's own administration and the households of Italy's clergy and lay elites. This original and nuanced study charts their manifold interactions with late Roman households and shows how bishops used domestic knowledge as the basis for establishing their authority as Italy's singular religious leaders.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage apporte de nouveaux éclairages sur le rôle joué par le Saint-Siège dans le lent processus de structuration politique des catholiques français à la fin du XIXe siècle, après l’événement qu’a constitué le Ralliement. La stratégie pontificale d’acceptation tactique de la République afin de la christianiser de l’intérieur bute sur ce dilemme, qui oppose tenants du droit commun et catholiques intégraux : faut-il choisir la défense confessionnelle, au risque de passer sous silence la question constitutionnelle, ou privilégier le ralliement à la République, en plaçant au second plan la cause de la religion ? Organisé en trois parties distinctes, l’ouvrage étudie dans un premier temps les tentatives de restructuration des forces catholiques, en mettant en lumière les hésitations quant au positionnement idéologique à adopter, jusqu’aux élections de 1893. Dans une seconde partie, sont analysés les efforts menés afin d’obtenir l’union des esprits, aboutissant à la Fédération électorale autour du catholique républicain Etienne Lamy, qui bénéficie d’un timide soutien du Saint-Siège. Une troisième partie s’attache à mettre en évidence les nouvelles divisions qui frappent les catholiques français à la suite des législatives de 1898, aggravées par la politique du gouvernement Waldeck-Rousseau, entraînant un nouvel échec lors des élections de 1902, malgré la formation de l’Action libérale, par Jacques Piou.
