Title :
Eschatological Order and the Moral Arguments for Clerical Celibacy in Francia Around the Year 1000 [The author traces the thinking of various abbots and bishops in the debates over the moral order of society. Celibacy was claimed by the monks, which gave them a higher rank than secular clergy. All sides in the debate used apocalyptic rhetoric to press for reform while strengthening their own positions. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
