... et usque ad ultimum terrae The Apostolic Penitentiary in Local Contexts
|
-
The volume contains selected papers from an international workshop in 2005, at the Hungarian Academy in Rome. They aim at investigating the registers of fifteenth-century supplic¬a¬tions to the Apostolic Penitentiary of the Holy See and to analyse the multiplicity of issues in which a context of the local needs of Western Christians and the central power of the Pope had been occurring.
The contributions make clear that local and individual factors and practice of Christian faith and religion must not be seen as separated from the global power of the Roman curia. The latter’s influence could become directly important for any individual in any local space, also … et usque ad ultimum terrae (Acts 1:8), in the utmost peripheries of the Christian world. The assistance by the Apostolic Penitentiary was indispensable in a large variety of cases. The occupation with such cases happened in the local and regional space as well as in the globalised centre of the Holy See.
