Sites about history of Catholicism

Dunno if you'll find what you're looking for directly on the site, but the richest, most authoritative web source for anything Catholic is New Advent. If they don't have articles satisfying your concern, odds are their list of links will lead you to a site that does.

Ooo! Thats a great site! Thank you sooo much timberlandko!

Tomber's site certainly is the biggest information on the web.
(You might pay attention that it's a ... ehem ... bit old.)

I think, you can find the specific information you're looking for only inside local, regional sources - and perhaps not much online as well.

For England,e.g., this site has some info: English Catholic History since 1550

The Internet Medieval Sourcebook might be a help, to - although it's not exactly the period you are looking for.

This site (in French) gives an inside about "catholic life" ... pre-1500, though, as well.

Another idea to solve your questions would be a look from the "other site": what did reformators think about it, ...
And, of course, the various reports from the 30-years-war are excellent sources as well.

Are you sure you aren't confusing monasteries and cathedrals?

Priests wouldn't have actually lived in cathedrals.

Abbots were the heads of monasteries.

The top man in the cathedral administration would have been, as today, a bishop.

I.ll TRY MY BEST

well...

Correct, but especially re church history one hundred additional years of research make some difference, I suppose :wink:

The site may be old, but i don't think its fair to say/(imply) that it is 100 years old! The internet wasn't around then!

By the way i said imply in brackets just to stop you coming back saying that you didn't actually say that **hehe**

Okay, 99 years then. ("Digitise" is the keyword - you can do such with even much older sources :wink: )




[When you look at the footnotes and quoted sources, you really should have notice that they stop about 1904/5.]
