Priestly Resistance to the Early Reformation in Germany
Beschreibung:
Moger's study explores the personal experience of those who found themselves on the 'losing side' of the Reformation. Using the private diary of Catholic priest, Wolfgang Konigstein, Moger discusses the early years of Protestantism and its effects on the lives of German Catholics. He argues that the main effects of early Protestantism were not political but cultural, with significant changes to religious practice without corresponding shifts in governance. Nonetheless, in a short period of time in Konigstein's Frankfurt am Main Catholicism went from being a large, universally accepted faith group to a small, persecuted minority.
