Abstract

Robert Bellarmine was one of the pillars of post-Reformation Catholicism: he was a celebrated theologian and a highly ranked member of the Congregations of the Inquisition and of the Index, the censor in charge of the Galileo affair. Bellarmine was also one of the most original political theorists of his time, and he participated directly in many of the political conflicts that agitated Europe between the end of the sixteenth and the beginning of the seventeenth century. Stefania Tutino offers the first full-length study of the impact of Bellarmine's theory of the potestas indirecta in early modern Europe. Following the reactions to Bellarmine's theory across national and confessional boundaries, this book explores some of the most crucial political and theological knots in the history of post-Reformation Europe, from the controversy over the Oath of Allegiance to the battle over the Interdetto in Venice. The book sets those political and religious controversies against the background of the theological and institutional developments of the post-Tridentine Catholic Church. By examining the violent and at times surprising controversies originated by Bellarmine's theory, this book challenges some of the traditional assumptions regarding the theological shape of post-Tridentine Catholicism; it offers a fresh perspective on the centrality of the links between confessional affiliation and political allegiance in the development of the modern nation-states; and it contributes to our understanding of the development of 'modern' notions of power and authority.

Abstract

"This book uncovers the remarkable story of a fake saint to tell a tale about truth. It begins at the end of the 1650s, when a large quantity of forged documents suddenly appeared throughout the Kingdom of Naples. Narrating the life and deeds of a previously unknown medieval saint named Giovanni Calà, the trove generated much excitement around the kingdom. No one was more delighted by the news than Carlo Calà, Giovanni's wealthy and politically influential seventeenth-century descendant. Attracted by the prospect of adding a saint to the family tree, Carlo presented Giovanni's case to the Roman Curia. The Catholic authorities immediately realized that the sources were forged and that Giovanni was not real (let alone holy). Yet, it took more than two decades before the forgery was exposed: why? Vividly reconstructing the intricate case of the supposed saint, the book reveals the tensions between historical and theological truth. How much could the truth of doctrine depend on the truth of the facts before religion lost its connection with the supernatural? To what extent could theology ignore the truth of history without ending up engulfed in falsity and deceit? This story of a fake saint illuminates early modern tensions. But the struggles to distinguish between facts, opinions, and beliefs remain with us. Examining how our predecessors dealt with the relationship between truth and authenticity guides us too in thinking through what is true and what is not"--

Abstract

In a compelling examination of the hermeneutical and epistemological anxieties gripping both the early modern and our current world, Stefania Tutino shows that post-Reformation Catholicism did not simply usher in modernity, but postmodernity as well. This deft study provides new insight into and a fresh perspective on the context of the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic response to it. Shadows of Doubt provides a collection of case-studies centered on the relationship between language, the truth of men, and the Truth of theology. Most of these case-studies illuminate little-known figures in the history of early modern Catholicism. While the militant aspects of post-Tridentine Catholicism can be appreciated by studying figures such as Robert Bellarmine or Cesare Baronio, who were the solid pillars of the intellectual and theological structure of the Church of Rome, an understanding of the more fragile and shadowy aspects of early modernity requires an exploration of the demimonde of post-Reformation Catholicism. Tutino examines the thinkers whom few scholars mention and fewer read, demonstrating that post-Reformation Catholicism was not simply a world of solid certainties to be opposed to the Protestant falsehoods, but also a world in which the stable Truth of theology existed alongside and contributed to a number of far less stable truths concerning the world of men. Post-Reformation Catholic culture was not only concerned with articulating and affirming absolute truths, but also with exploring and negotiating the complex links between certainty and uncertainty. By bringing to light this fascinating and hitherto largely unexamined side of post-Tridentine Catholicism, Tutino reveals that post-Reformation Catholic culture was a vibrant laboratory for many of the issues that we face today: it was a world of fractures and fractured truths which we, with a heightened sensitivity to discrepancies and discontinuities, are now well-suited to understand.

Abstract

'The Many Faces of Credulitas' is about the relationship between belief, credibility, and credulity. It argues that due to a series of different historical factors, credibility assumed a central role in post-Reformation Catholicism. This led to an important reconsideration of the relationship between natural reason and supernatural grace and consequently to novel and significant tensions. This book seeks to elucidate some of the difficulties, anxieties, and tensions caused by the new insistence on credibility that came to dominate the theological and intellectual landscape of the early modern Catholic Church.

Abstract

Ce livre propose une remontée aux sources méconnues de l’antijésuitisme, en amont de l’époque contemporaine, et principalement du XIXe siècle, où le « jésuite » a finalement représenté le comble de l’ecclésiastique dans un espace social, culturel, politique profondément clivé par l’affrontement du clergé et de l’esprit anticlérical. Il en va tout autrement de l’époque moderne, qui fournit une grande partie des motifs polémiques dont hériteront les siècles suivants, mais qui (parallèlement et dans un échange constant avec la Compagnie de Jésus elle-même, prompte dès sa naissance, au milieu du XVIe siècle, à instruire son procès en plaidant sa défense) présente à notre regard un paysage essentiellement différent : l’antijésuitisme s’y manifeste comme une série de synthèses souvent fragiles, mais redoutablement efficaces, entre une opposition à la « modernité », que la Compagnie, comme seul grand ordre moderne, incarne, et une opposition à la catholicité romaine, dont cette même Compagnie représente la dernière formation. L’antijésuitisme, ou les antijésuitismes : car c’est en traversant des textes, des situations locales et ponctuelles et des évolutions à l’échelle de deux siècles, dans l’Europe et dans le monde, que ce volume parvient à expliquer comment, à des niveaux de culture très variables, le jésuite, et radicalement le complot jésuite, ont pu figurer un fantastique exutoire des contradictions de l’époque moderne.
