Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a profound examination of the role of rural clergy in France, from their humble origins in the early Middle Ages to their complex position as social leaders in the later period of the Ancien RÃ gime. The author explores the evolution of the parish system and the changing duties of priests over time, highlighting their key role in administering sacraments, providing education, and serving as mediators in local disputes. Through meticulous archival research, the book sheds light on the challenges faced by rural priests in balancing their religious obligations with the demands of an increasingly secularized society, and the impact of the French Revolution on their status and authority. The insights offered in this book are not only valuable for understanding the history of the Catholic Church in France, but also for appreciating the broader social and cultural transformations that shaped this pivotal period.
