Описание: Distinguished historian Robert Brentano provides an entirely new perspective on the character of the church, religion, and society in the medieval Italian diocese of Rieti from 1188 to 1378. Combing through a cache of previously ignored documents stored in a tower of the cathedral, he uses wills, litigation proceedings, fiscal accounts, and other records to reconstruct the daily life of the diocese. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.
Volume Three of Robert W. Hayman's panoramic Catholicism in Rhode Island and the Diocese of Providence covers the rise of Catholic educational and social welfare institutions; the charity drives begun by Bishop Hickey; the growth of new parishes and missions; the Church's efforts to relieve suffering during the Great Depression; its role on the homefront in Word War II; its relation to the labor movement; the Rose Ferron phenomenon; morality campaigns; friction between church and state; and, most vividly, the protracted conflict between Bishop Hickey and the Sentinellists, whose militant drive for autonomy in their French-speaking parishes went all the way to Rome. Extending through the administration of the much-loved Bishop Keough, this volume presents a comprehensive view of the many facets of the Church's activities in the life of Rhode Island during the first half of the twentieth century.
