The Council of Trent and Women’s Active Congregations in Italy
No full textRecent studies on religious women during the Counter-Reformation have questioned the idea that the Tridentine Church represented a compact repressive force enclosing passive women who wished to live an active religious life in the world. They have argued that enclosure was not enforced very successfully, that groups of devout women could pursue an active life in the world, that women were not submissive and did not necessarily see contemplative life in opposition or secondary to active life. Looking more closely at the Italian situation, this essay offers a novel picture of women’s active congregations after the Council of Trent and investigates the role played by the Church in their development. It will be argued that despite the fact that the Tridentine Church promulgated restrictive legislation concerning female religious life, women’s devotion in the world was actually supported and promoted precisely by the bishops who implemented the decrees of the Council of Trent, and by exponents of the new religious orders. The essay examines the social, spiritual and gender characteristics of the congregations and the factors that led the ecclesiastics to accept women’s devotion outside the cloister

Negotiation and Reconciliation Strategies in Viceregal Peru: The Peace Mission of Pedro de Gasca, 1543-1548
No full textThis is the first volume to analyze pacification strategies within the Spanish Monarchy on a global level. It deals with the development and aftermath of the many early modern revolts on the Iberian and Italian Peninsula, the Sicilian and Sardinian islands, the cities along the North Sea and the Spanish Americas. These comparative studies uncover the different ways in which the Spanish Monarchy dealt with rebellion from cities and constituencies, ranging from military responses and repression to offers for negotiation and reconciliation. They also point out common characteristics of these pacification processes, such as the promises of pardon, the granting of grace and the instruction of peace envoys. The different chapters, each accompanied by an edition of sources, show how the reconciliation and reincorporation into the Spanish Habsburg orbit proved to be a painstaking process with an unpredictable outcome
The Order of the Theatines between Carafa’s Inquisition and Borromeo’s Diocesan Reform
No full textThis essay aims to analyze the relationship between the Council of Trent and the Order of the Theatines, founded in 1524 by Gian Pietro Carafa, the future Paul IV, and Gaetano Thiene. I intend to look at the main phases during which the Theatines’ process of identity construction took place. This study of how the Theatines adopted the Tridentine decrees is part of the most recent research into the complex relationships between religious orders and the Council. Traditional scholarship has repeatedly emphasized the primary role the Theatines played, together with the other new religious orders founded in the sixteenth century, in paving the way for the reforms that would later be developed by the Council of Trent. This essay, on the other hand, aims to shed light on how it was not until the late sixteenth century that Theatines adopted the Tridentine directives because, at least until the death of Paul IV in 1559, they had been engaged in providing support for the ecclesiastical rise of their celebrated founder, as well as in collaborating with his inquisitorial activities in open conflict with the Council which he had always opposed. It was only when Carafa died that the Theatines changed tactics: in order to deal with the profound crisis that afflicted them, as a result of having obeyed their founder, by now a controversial figure, they began to distance themselves from his inquisitorial practices and, after adopting the decrees promoted by the Council fathers at Trent, became active supporters of the Tridentine reforms. In describing the relationship between the Theatines and the Council, which took place at the same time as the Order’s identity was taking shape, this essay uses the acts of the Chapters General and the biographies and correspondence of the brothers themselves, which help to clarify their positions with regard to the Council before and after Carafa’s death. Of particular interest are the roles played by individual Theatines in the process of adopting the Council’s provisions, figures such as Andrea Avellino, who assisted Carlo Borromeo in reforming the diocese of Milan, and Paolo Burali, the bishop who governed the diocese of Piacenza in accordance with the Council’s norms. The stories of this generation of Theatines - very different from those of the original members - reveal how the Order sought and found a new place for itself within the Church and applied the Council’s reforms in spreading Gaetano Thiene’s intense spirituality, which had survived among a few of his most faithful brothers, in performing pastoral activities and in caring for souls
