Book Description

Excerpt from A History of Auricular Confession and Indulgences in the Latin Church, Vol. 2: Confession and Absolution (Continued.) The first prerequisite to the enjoyment of the fruits of the sacra ment is a knowledge of the truths of religion, and we have just seen how the Lutherans insisted on this, and provided for it in the Verhoz'. It is the same in the Catholic Church, and confessors dealing with those not known to them are instructed always to begin with an examination into the soundness of the penitent's faith. Ignorance of the leading points of doctrine is a mortal sin, but it is not suffered to prove a serious obstacle in the confessional, for the penitent is not required to know the articles of the creed by heart, and it suffices for him to express his assent when asked such questions as Do you believe that there are three persons in the Trinity? 1 Only obsti nate disbelief can thus serve as a barrier.

Book Description

Between the third and sixteenth centuries, penance (the acts or gestures performed to atone for transgression, usually with an interest in the salvation of the penitent’s soul) was a crucial mode of participation in both society and the cosmos. Penance was incorporated into political and legal negotiations, it erupted in improvisational social dramas, it was subject to experimentation and innovation, and it saturated western culture with images of contrition, suffering, and reconciliation. During the late antique, medieval, and early modern periods, rituals for the correction of human errors became both sophisticated and popular. Creativity in penitential expression reflects the range and complexity of social and spiritual situations in which penance was vital. Using hitherto unconsidered source materials, the contributors chart new views on how in western culture, human conduct was modulated and directed in patterns shaped by the fearsome yet embraced practices of penance. Contributors are R. Emmet McLaughlin, Rob Meens, Kevin Uhalde, Claudia Rapp, Dominique Iogna-Prat, Abigail Firey, Karen Wagner, Joseph Goering, H. Ansgar Kelly, Torstein Jørgensen, Wietse de Boer, Ronald K. Rittgers, Gretchen Starr-LeBeau, and Jodi Bilinkoff.
