Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Vol. 4. Everyman’s Library, The
Edward Gibbon
Book ID: 548 Page: ?

Section: 3A1A

In the most corrupt state of Christianity, the Barbarians might learn justice from the law, and mercy from the gospel; and if the knowledge of their duty was insufficient to guide their actions, or to regulate their passions, they were sometimes restrained by conscience, and frequently punished by remorse. But the direct authority of religion was less effectual than the holy communion, which united them with their Christian brethren in spiritual friendship. The influence of these sentiments contributed to secure their fidelity in the service, or the alliance, of the Romans, to alleviate the horrors of war, to moderate the insolence of conquest, and to preserve, in the downfall of the empire, a permanent respect for the name and institutions of Rome. In the days of Paganism, the priests of Gaul and Germany reigned over the people, and controlled the jurisdiction of the magistrates; and the zealous proselytes transferred an equal, or more ample, measure of devout obedience, to the pontiffs of the Christian faith. The sacred character of the bishops was supported by their temporal possessions; they obtained an honorable seat in the legislative assemblies of soldiers and freemen.

Section: 3A1A,3D2

Clovis, in the north of France, the Burgundian chieftain at Arles, Theodoric in Italy, Athanagild later at Toledo in Spain, were all of them men who had stepped into the shoes of an unbroken local Roman administration, who worked entirely by it, and whose machinery of administration wherever they went was called by the Roman and official name of Palatium.

. . . .

This governmental world of clerks and civil servants lived its own life and was only in theory dependent upon the Rex, and the Rex was no more than the successor of the chief local Roman official. {8}

The Rex, by the way, called himself always by some definite inferior Roman title, such as Vir Illuster, as an Englishman today might be called “Sir Charles So and So” or “Lord So and So,” never anything more; and often (as in the case of Clovis), he not only accepted directly from the Roman Emperor a particular office, but observed the old popular Roan customs, such as largesse and procession, upon his induction into that office.

This is not to suggest that Roman clerics were the first to attempt to exercise authority within the private home. Christian clergy throughout the late antique world had long tried to do just this, whether as marriage counselors, ritual celebrants of domestic rites, administrators of almsgiving, or even informal arbitrators in civil disputes involving family members.{37} Moreover, through the institution of the church council, bishops tried to legislate how Christians lived within the home from as early as the first decade of the fourth century.

A remarriage in the wake of a spouse’s kidnapping by a Visigothic or Hunnic army generated a welter of new questions for the Christian householder, which neither Roman law, classical tradition, nor biblical text could independently answer. These new grey areas of Christian life produced precisely the sorts of questions that late antique Roman bishops tried to define and resolve.

. . . .

The abduction of Romans by barbarians was a violent but fairly commonplace event in late antiquity, especially the western regions of the empire during the fifth and sixth centuries.

However, in the sixth century, Justinian altered the right of postliminium: marriages continued so long as the captive was thought to be alive. In cases where the captive spouse was known to be alive, marriages could be dissolved only after incurring legal penalties (i.e. the loss of betrothal gifts or dowry).{51} If the survival of the captive was uncertain, Justinian ruled that spouse could remarry after a waiting period of five years without punishment.

While the circumstances and precise date of Ursa’s return to Rome are uncertain, she arrived in the city sometime between 410 and 417 C.E. only to discover that her husband, Fortunius, had remarried in her absence. It is unclear precisely what motivated Ursa to dispute her husband’s new union and to insist on the legitimacy of their original marriage.

. . . .

Ursa on her own approached the bishop of Rome, Innocent, in the hope that he might not only be sympathetic to her cause, but also help her to reinstate the original marriage.{58}

Late 300s, violence increases against pagan practices and buildings. Two famous temples, the Serapaeum in Egypt (392) and the great temple of Zeus in Syria (386) destroyed by mobs organized and led by local bishops.

….

By this time, the church’s fellowship in the light was all but destroyed. It was entirely immersed in politics. It was in bed with the beast.

See Pg. 83 by the end of the 4th century, monks and nuns “often took the lead in mob attacks on temples”

At the same time, Xn hostility toward the Jews was rising intensely. John Chryostom’s preaching was full of it, and there was even legislation needed to restrain local Xns from attacking synagogues. Xns who converted to Judaism had to forfeit their property, Jews were banned from imperial service, etc.

In 1229 a synod was held at Toulouse:

"Lay people shall not have books of scripture, except the psalter and the divine office: and they shall not have these books in the vulgar tongue. Moreover we prohibit that lay people should be permitted to books of the Old or New Testament, except perchance any should wish from devotion to have a psalter, or a breviary for the divine office, or the hours of the blessed Virgin; but we most strictly prohibit their having even the aforesaid books translated into the vulgar tongue."

A priest who has joined the Waldensians, and was afterwards burnt as a relapsed heretic, confessed that he had associated with Waldensians, and that “he knew and saw and heard that the Waldensians preach sometimes after supper at night from the gospels and epistles in the vulgar tongue.”  Another man “had seen in the house of his father and mother a certain old man, whom he did not know, and in the presence of himself and others of the household the old man drew out a certain book and began reading to them many words.”

John Nider the Dominican also described certain Beghards at the time of the council of Bale, who

Use subtle, sublime, spiritual and metaphysical words, such as the German tongue can hardly express, so that scarcely any man, even an educated man, can fully understand them; and in these they wrap up lofty sentences about spirit, abstraction, various lights, divine persons, and the grades of contemplation.

The monastic houses enjoyed curiously varied privileges. For example, Biddlesden, by a grant of Edward II., to whom the Abbot had lent money, had the right of holding a market every Monday, and an annual fair during six days. The nuns of Burnham, in the second year of Henry IV., acquired the right of holding a market and fair at Burnham, and a fair at Beaconsfield. The nuns of Marlow similarly held a fair at Ivinghoe. The Prior of Snelshall held weekly markets at Snelshall and Mursley. The Abbot of Notley held the advowson and tithes of several parishes, with exemption from payments in the county and hundred courts, freedom from market tolls throughout the realm, and the right to use two carts at certain seasons to bring wood from the royal forest of Bernwood. The nuns of Ankerwyke might feed sixty swine on the acorns of Windsor Forest. Strangest of all, the Prior of Tickford had the privilege of setting up a “pillory and tumbrill, to punish and chastise transgressors;” while his near neighbour the Prior of Newton might keep his vassals in awe by means of his own private gallows.

Power and Persuasion in Late Antiquity: Towards a Christian Empire
Peter Brown
Book ID: 183 Page: 98

Section: 3A1A,3A3B,4B

The traditional solution, favored by the upperclass residents, was the all able-bodied beggars should become the slaves or the serfs (depending on their previous status) of those who denounced them to the authorities.{143} The Christian church offered a less-drastic way of stabilizing the population. It bore the cost of keeping the poor in one place. They were enrolled on the matricula, on poor rolls kept by the bishop and clergy. These rolls are referred to in cities as far apart as Hippo in North Africa and Edessa in eastern Syria.{144} In becoming the “poor of the church,” the poor were stabilized: they could not move to other cities. Begging itself came to require a permit that bore the bishop’s signature.{145}

. . . .

It was perhaps for that reason (and not only to increase the appeal of Christianity) that Constantine ostentatiously fostered the expansion of poor relief in major cities. He assigned supplies of food and clothing to the poor of the churches, to be administered by the bishop alone.{146}
