"It Was Never Good World Sence Minister Must Have Wyves": clerical celibacy, clerical marriage, and anticlericalism in Reformation England

The impact of the Reformation was felt strongly in the nature and character of the priesthood, and in the function and reputation of the priest. A shift in the understanding of the priesthood was one of the most tangible manifestations of doctrinal change, evident in the physical arrangement of the church, in the language of the liturgy, and in the relaxation of the discipline of celibacy, which had for centuries bound priests in the Latin tradition to a life of perpetual continence. Clerical celibacy, and accusations of clerical incontinence, featured prominently in evangelical criticisms of the Catholic church and priesthood, which made a good deal of polemical capital out of the perceived relationship of the priest and the efficacy of his sacred function. Citing St Paul, Protestant polemicists presented clerical marriage as the only, and appropriate remedy, for priestly immorality. But did the advent of a married priesthood create more problems than it solved? The polemical certainties that informed evangelical writing on sacerdotal celibacy did not guarantee the immediate acceptance of a married priesthood, and the vocabulary that had been used to denounce clergy who failed in their obligation to celibacy was all too readily turned against the married clergy. The anti‐clerical lexicon, and its usage, remained remarkably static despite the substantial doctrinal and practical challenges posed to the traditional model of priesthood by the Protestant Reformation.

从浑源铜器看侯马铸铜作坊

1923年,山西省北部浑源县李峪村有一处铜器窖藏被发现,数十件青铜器先后入藏海内外博物馆。1957年,浑源铜器的可能产地在田野考古中发现,它就是南距浑源500公里,位于山西省南部侯马市的侯马铸铜遗址。1957年至1965年,侯马铸铜遗址共清理发掘了数千件带有精美花纹的泥质铸铜用具残件,其中包括陶范（图1）和其他铸具。相同的纹样把浑源铜器和其他地方出土的青铜器同侯马铸铜遗址联系起来。侯马在公元前六、五世纪是春秋五霸之一晋国的都城所在地,而浑源铜器之为前五世纪的晋国产品几乎是无疑的。本文论及的青铜器大都出自浑源,其中有…     

吴哥奇迹的宿命

从空中俯瞰，拥有几百年历史的古寺如幻影般时隐时现，起初它只不过像柬埔寨北部绿林中的一块茶色污迹。失落的吴哥城在我们脚下铺展开来，如今仅余断壁残垣，居民多为种植稻米的农夫。
