中世纪天主教的信仰与危机:1000-1500年

Faith and Crisis in Medieval Catholicism,c.1000 to c.1500

在1000-1500年间,天主教欧洲见证了信仰事务上的多次危机,它们的性质、规模、影响以及重要性各不相同。在此期间,"信仰"伴随着"危机";但信仰没有受到严重的威胁。大多数危机是地方性或区域性的,持续时间也不长,从未达到真正的临界点。它们是可以用这种或那种方法来化解的,并总是能够得到化解,天主教对中世纪整个西欧的掌控因而从未受到严重的威胁,直到宗教改革改变一切。

Between 1000 and 1500 catholic Europe witnessed many crises in matters of faith,which varied in their nature,scale,and impact,and in their significance.＇Faith＇ and ＇crisis＇ can be linked in this period;but the faith was not seriously under threat.Most of the crises were local or regional,and usually did not last long.These crises never reached a truly critical point and never changed Catholicism＇s hold on medieval Western Europe as a whole.They were always manageable,and managed,one way or another,until the Reformation changed everything.
