Abstract

Christopher Lane's study offers a fresh perspective on the topic of vocation or "calling" in the context of Catholicism. Lane argues that earlier teachings and practices about vocation, which traditionally had focussed on decisions to join the secular or regular clergy, intensified and expanded amid Catholicism's "rigorist turn" in seventeenth-century France. Lane analyses how vocational discernment became "vocational rigorism" in seventeenth-century France in relation to four factors: urgency, inclusiveness, method and liberty.
