Reviews

"""This fine study of clerical training in Catholic Reformation France reveals the conscious and meticulous efforts that went into the project of revitalizing the secular clergy, and in particular, into creating the vray ecclésiastique (the true/perfect churchman). Utilizing performance theory and performance studies, Palacios traces how secular priests were molded and enjoined to mold themselves as exemplary clerics. Putting priests and actors together in terms of the manner of training, the claims on public attention, and the spatial and social conflicts between these groups, Palacios offers a new dimension to our understanding of how the Catholic Reformation articulated and restructured contemporary ideological imperatives.
