The Catholic Church and Modern Sexual Knowledge, 1850-1950 de Lucia Pozzi

The Catholic Church and Modern Sexual Knowledge, 1850-1950: Genders and Sexualities in History

Autor Lucia Pozzi
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 sep 2022
This book is the first to present a comprehensive historical picture of the modern Catholic concern with the body and sexuality. The Catholic church is commonly believed to have always opposed birth control and abortion throughout the centuries. Yet the Catholic encounter with modern sexuality has a more complex and interesting history. What was the meaning of sexual purity? Why did eugenics matter to Catholicism? How did the Society of Jesus interpret the idea of overpopulation? Why did Pius XI decide to issue the notorious encyclical Casti connubii on Christian marriage – the first modern papal pronouncement on birth control, abortion, and eugenics? In answering these questions, Lucia Pozzi uncovers new archival and unpublished records to dig into Catholic responses to modern sexual knowledge, showing the Catholic church at times resisting, but also often welcoming, scientific modernity.

Recenzii

“As an intellectual history, The Catholic Church and Modern Sexual Knowledge, 1850–1950 connects in a nuanced and richly evidenced way the history of sexuality with the history of religion. This monograph illustrates the intellectual tug of war from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentiethcentury between the Catholic Church’s ideas of sexual morality and the developing medical ideas about physiology and sexuality. … Each chapter is written as a stand-alone chapter, with endnotes and a short bibliography.” (Carmen M. Mangion, Journal of the History of Sexuality, Vol. 32 (2), May, 2023)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“This book offers an engaging and well-researched study of the relationship between Catholicism and sexual science; it will make a useful contribution to the histories of sexuality and religion, helping these two, often disparate, fields speak to each other in new ways.” -  David Geiringer, Associate Lecturer and Post-doctoral Research Fellow, Queen Mary, University of London, UK   
"Too often historians of sexuality, especially in the English-speaking world, work with stylised views of the Catholic Church’s regulation of women’s sexuality. By reading Lucia Pozzi’s book, they can gain a more nuanced view based on fine-grained archival research."
- Peter Cryle, Emeritus Professor, University of Queensland
