Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, an extract from a longer work, explores religious controversy in Rome in the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly within the Catholic Church. It examines the emergence of Quietism, a mystical movement centered around a passive approach to religious devotion that faced significant opposition within the Church. The author delves into the heated debates, accusations of heresy, and political machinations surrounding Quietism, shedding light on the complex dynamics of religious power and authority during this period. Through a detailed analysis of primary sources, the book provides valuable insights into the nature of religious belief, the tensions between orthodoxy and innovation, and the often-fraught relationship between the spiritual and the temporal.
