| Abstract | The Christian religion as ideology and the Catholic and Orthodox churches as institutions were dominant for the sacral areas of medieval life. While many aspects of religious life form long traditions some groups, rituals, and attitudes of minds developed extreme variations which provoked conflicts. The first paper in this session presents examples of Late Antique, early Christian sects that had the potential to turn Christian ideas upside down. The second and the third papers pick up institutional topics: The former takes us to late Russian Middle Ages when pietistic tendencies provoked unforeseen observance of daily life, based on strict rules; the latter introduces consequences of new late medieval implementations of territorial states led by ecclesial rulers. |
