Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical relationship between the clergy's income and their moral authority, making particular reference to the debate over the Church's ownership of property during the 15th century. The author argues that there was a growing sense that the Church's wealth was a source of corruption, leading to calls for reform. This debate reflected wider concerns about the role of the Church in society and the nature of Christian poverty. The book provides a detailed examination of the arguments for and against clerical wealth, drawing on a wide range of historical sources. It also explores the broader implications of this debate for our understanding of the relationship between wealth and morality, and the role of the Church in society.
