Description
The essays in this volume offer a variety of perspectives on the rich and colourful history of Irish confraternities and sodalities. Framed by surveys that include both the Irish and the international context, these essays explore the role of the confraternities in the revival of the Catholic Church in the penal era, their place in the Catholic devotional upsurge in the 19th century, and the contribution of religious orders to their growth.
