		eamon duffy, through his intricate study of sir christopher's (morebath's parish preist's)written acounts of parish life, presents a deliciously partisan and empathetic tale of one man's struggle to fathom the enormity of religious reform in the sixteenth century.

		Duffy notes that the 2nd century Church Father Irenaeus gives the Church of Rome a place of primacy in his writings, but that the idea of the pope being successor of St. Peter the apostle is not documented until the 3rd century.
		Duffy writes that until Charlemagne, the Church of the East was not only the hotbed of the heresy, but also the hotbed of political dissidents; that such political-religious friction should exist in the capital of the Roman Empire, given the new union of religion to politics, is not surprising.
		Eamon Duffy is a professional historian of the modern period.

	Review - A Cautionary Tale (Site not responding. Last check: )
		For the sake of full disclosure, Eamon Duffy, Reader in Church History at the University of Cambridge and President of Magdalene College, belongs to the former school of thought, and I to the latter.
		Duffy’s achievement is to place the words of Sir Christopher into the historical context of local and national life before and during the Reformation, including the twists and turns of Tudor dynastic politics.
		While Duffy clearly sympathizes with Sir Christopher and his people in lamenting the passing of the old ways (and often the brutality with which they were extinguished), his interpretations of events are most often expressed in a modest, subjunctive way ("might," "could," "would") that leaves room for honest disagreement.

	The Stripping of the Altars : Traditional Religion in England, 1400-1580 - Eamon Duffy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Eamon Duffy's The Stripping of the Altars is written as a revision of an earlier thesis regarding the English Protestant Reformation, which was itself a revision of earlier models.
		Duffy also stresses that the celebration of Mass was a participatory, not passive act on the part of the laity.
		Duffy is careful to stress that this is a story of "traditional religion," not "popular religion." Besides being an obvious nod to Bossy, this distinction also avoids the implication that "popular religion" can only be the spirituality of select lower classes.

	FT April 2005: Books in Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Duffy is generally considered to be a man of the left, and he has been a critic of some of the policies of Pope John Paul II.
		Duffy argues that despite real advances in scholarship, many of the reforms adopted in recent generations have been strangely unhistorical in their approach to Catholicism.
		According to Duffy, the new model of sainthood fosters Pelagianism, “a wearisome emphasis on good deeds and moral effort, the saint as prig and puritan.” In his view the older model is far better, offering us the saint as spiritual tightrope walker, ascetic star, eccentric.

	BookkooB: The Stripping of the Altars - Eamon Duffy
		Duffy, however, documents in some detail how the churches of England were comprehensively wrecked between 1538 and 1553, and then again after Elizabeth I's accession in 1558.
		The Stripping of the Altars: Traditional Religion in England by Eamon Duffy is an excellent study of the Protestant reformation in England by a top-notch historian.
		Duffy shows that, contrary to the received wisdom, the reformation was not a necessary aggiornamento of a worn out church, but was imposed by a few determined extremists on a largely faithful population.

		Some historians who did not agree with Duffy were quick to point out that the evidence marshaled by him in support of his argument came from isolated pockets in rural England and that he had overlooked or excluded evidence from other parts of the country that would disprove his claims.
		Duffy is the first to see this in the churchwarden records, which had been misread until now.
		Duffy does a remarkable job of turning the vicar Trychay’s dry-as-dust bookkeeping into an engrossing narrative, but he does not need to embellish the tragedy.

		Traditional religion had about it no particular marks of exhaustion or decay, and indeed in a whole host of ways, from the multiplication of vernacular religious books to adaptations within the national and regional cult of the saints, was showing itself well able to meet needs and new conditions.
		The last third of Duffy’s weighty tome describes in words and with a welcome dose of photos the physical destruction maliciously carried out by Protestant "reformers" which even after 500 years raises the ire of the reader especially if one contemplates how much of the Faith was ruthlessly taken away from Englanders.
		The result, as Duffy so ably explains, was tremendous confusion among the laity and clergy which, in the end, worked to the advantage of the more radical elements.

		Duffy asserted that theology’s problem was the same that faced the other humanities: ‘the problem of funding a wisdom tradition in a public institution’.

		Duffy's research points to the fact that Elizabeth’s successful reign may have had the effect of decreasing the status of women in the village.

		Thanks to Duffy's book- beautifully produced by Yale University Press- it is a voice that vividly returns the Tudor village of Morebath back to the historical stage.

		The Voices of Morebath, Eamon Duffy (Yale 2001) Eamon Duffy is famous amongst revisionist historians for depicting the English Reformation from a Roman Catholic perspective.
		In his weighty survey, The Stripping of the Altars (1992) he challenged the traditional view that pre-reformation England contained a benighted people in the thrall of a corrupt ecclesiastical hierarchy; and replaced it with an image of a deeply spiritual people, whose very personal and local religion was thoroughly interwoven into their daily lives.
		While the debate he sparked about the effect of the reformation on the lives of ‘ordinary people’ continues to rage, Duffy has re-entered the debate with this short book which argues the same thesis from a very intimate perspective: one hamlet on Exmoor, Morebath, with a population of not much more than 100.

		Duffy’s skilful examination of Morebath enables us step back into the communal fabric of this remote, sheep farming Tudor village.
		We see how, in their pre-reformation world, each adult person- male and female- had a role and that most were prepared to do their duties by the community - a community held together by religious rituals.
		Duffy describes how Morebath eventually comes to see the Elizabeth Reformation as being like ‘quite literally, part of the furniture.” (2) Even the Saint Sidwell loving Trychan eventually slides comfortably into the England of Elizabeth, when his 'conformity was more than a grudging minimalism.'
