Catholic Revival in the Age of the Baroque: Religious Identity in Southwest Germany, 1550-1750
Marc R. Forster
This book seeks to explain the origins of the Catholic identity of the population of southwest Germany between 1550 and 1750. Many studies of this subject credit rulers and church leaders with creating and enforcing religious identity in Germany ''from above.'' In contrast, this study argues that there were important local and religious reasons why people came to consider themselves loyal Catholics; and in order to understand the origins of Catholic identity, it examines the nature of ''Baroque Catholicism''--including the significance of pilgrimages, processions, confraternities, and other religious ceremonies.
