Judging Faith, Punishing Sin: Inquisitions and Consistories in the Early Modern Period , ed. Charles H. Parker and Gretchen Starr-Lebeau
Since their emergence in the 1970s and 1980s, the disciplining paradigm and its offshoot, confessionalisation theory, have come under sustained attack. The most vocal critics were the proponents of a history ‘from below’, whose research, ironically, would have been impossible were it not for the paper trail produced by the disciplining institutions that sprouted all over early modern Europe and other Christianised parts of the world. Therefore, w…
Royal Favouritism and the Governing Elite of the Spanish Monarchy, 1640–1665, by Alistair Malcolm
Although the question of royal favouritism has received ample scholarly attention over the past decades, one problem has always remained in the shadows: what happened to the Hispanic Monarchy and the institution of the valido after Olivares’ dramatic downfall? If things have remained so opaque even to experts, this is due in part to the disappearance of precious manuscript sources through fire, but also to the way in which the new favourite, and …
Vincent de Paul, the Lazarist Mission, and the French Catholic Reform
Hernando de Mendoça (1562–1617), General Acquaviva, and the Controversy over Confession, Counsel, and Obedience
This article examines the clash between Superior General Claudio Acquaviva and the Spanish Jesuit Hernando de Mendoça, briefly confessor to the viceroy of Naples count of Lemos (1599–1601). It argues that Mendoça’s activities in Naples and the scandal that followed were an important influence on Acquaviva’s determination to formalize and push forward the regulations for princely confessors in 1602. It situates the confrontation within the context…
Being Seneca—Stoic Lessons
Seneca is the second model Caussin explored as an example to guide royal confessors in their role as royal counsellors. In doing so, he drew out the parallels between the fate of the Stoic philosopher and that of the prophets, engaging deeply and critically with the contemporary vogue of neo-Stoicism. The reflections on Seneca are indebted to the Jesuit and Stoic heritage of spiritual exercises aimed at developing moral fortitude and a sense of s…
Voices of Conscience: Royal Confessors and Political Counsel in Seventeenth-Century Spain and France
This study analyses how the link between politics and conscience was articulated and shaped by confessors as counsellors to monarchs throughout the seventeenth century. Against the backdrop of the momentous intellectual, theological, and political shifts during this period, it examines comparatively how ethical challenges of political action were confronted in Spain and France and how questions of conscience became a major argument in the hegemon…
How individual was conscience in the early-modern period? Observations on the development of Catholic moral theology
This article investigates how the notion of individual conscience has to be understood within the early-modern development of Catholic moral theology. It highlights that 16th-century Catholic theologians continued to understand conscience mainly in Thomist terms as a rational judgment. Yet they also came to investigate more deeply questions of intention and individual circumstances that might interfere with the perfect execution of moral reasonin…
Introduction: War, Conscience, and Counsel in Early Modern Catholic Europe
The introduction identifies the framework of Catholic moral theology, which informs the specific approach of the authors in this special issue, as an important context to deepen the understanding of early modern just war discussions. Some of the most productive contributors to the debate in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were indeed Catholic moral theologians, who engaged with the question, driven by pastoral concerns over the conscience…
Just War, Royal Conscience and the Crisis of Theological Counsel in the Early Seventeenth Century
This article explores how scholastic just war theories and concepts of theological counsel became increasingly problematic in the run-up to the Thirty Years War. It identifies increasing conceptual difficulties due to probabilism, religiously inspired contemporary warfare, and skeptical readings of the Old Testament. Such theoretical problems were exacerbated in the context of the struggle for European hegemony with French pamphleteers starting t…
Spin doctor of conscience? The royal confessor and the Christian prince
This article examines the role of royal confessors as counsellors in early modern France and Spain. The starting point is the normative concept of the confessor within Bellarmine's theory of the Principe Christiano , which draws a model for the confessor as anti‐courtier or prophet. After examining how the understanding of royal sins developed in the theological and political context of sixteenth‐ and seventeenth‐century Catholicism, the article …
