| Summary: | Shaken to its cultural foundation by economic, political and religious change, the sixteenth century witnessed a number of attempts to maintain order. For Vives, Calvin, and Loyola, order was identified with the hierarchy and reciprocity of the Christian social organism. While so different in many areas of thought and practice, the Christian humanist, Protestant Reformer, and arch-Catholic all followed a traditional approach to solving social problems. Their views necessarily led to the care of the entire social body, a project epitomized by poor relief. As such, poor relief reforms were rooted firmly in an organic metaphor which so dominated the sixteenth century that it crossed the boundaries of denominational differences. |
