| Summary: | This study attempts to compare Catholic and Protestant confessions with respect to the temporal function allocated to the clergy from outside its ranks. This basically secular question cannot be separated from the issue of the religious self-awareness of the priests and other clergy. This study proposes to approach the subject via the concept of social biography (Sozialbiographie), which attempts to combine the concept of ecclesiastical self-awareness with the temporal definition of clerical function. Social backgrounds, education, and training of the clergies is compared as well as their understandings of family and marriage and the ways in which these affected their concepts of the state and their place in it. |
