Description from the seller
The Ecclesiastical Conferences of the Diocese of Angers are collections of theological and pastoral works from the eighteenth century, mainly written by François Babin (1651-1734), dean of the Faculty of Theology in Angers, at the request of successive bishops of the diocese (such as Mgr Michel Poncet de La Rivière or Mgr Jean de Vaugirauld).
Main themes:
These conferences served for the ongoing training of the clergy and addressed various aspects of morality, canon law, and the sacraments: The Sacraments: the sacrament of penance, the Eucharist and the offering of the Mass, marriage (as sacrament and civil contract). Morality and Law: the commandments of God, sins, contracts and restitution, reserved cases, and censures. Ecclesiastical Discipline: benefices matters and simony. In short, the complete and exhaustive manual of ecclesiastical practice in the Ancien Régime, from law to daily pastoral life.
