Description

Explore a profound historical study of religious and sexual history with Sexuality in the Confessional: A Sacrament Profaned. Published by Oxford University Press, this work examines the eroticizing of the confessional between 1530 and 1819. Through a detailed analysis of actual cases and trial evidence from the Spanish Inquisition, the text provides a vivid look at the sexual misconduct of priests and the subsequent reactions of the Church. This research reveals how the Counter-Reformation Church, in its attempt to re-assert morality and control, contributed to the rise of sexual solicitation within the confessional setting. This book is a valuable resource for readers interested in the history of sexuality, religious studies, and the social dynamics of the Counter-Reformation era. It offers a documented look at how institutional efforts to regulate behavior can lead to unexpected consequences in historical social practices.
