"Sacraments as Weapons: Kyriarchy and Women’s Resistance in the 19th-Century Convent." Margaret Susan Thompson, Associate Professor, History and Political Science, Syracuse University.
This talk will focus on extensive and repeated examples in 19th-century conventual archives of sacraments being used by clerics—and sometimes by female superiors, as well—as weapons to control both the spirituality and the behavior of Catholic sisters. These nuns repeatedly experienced the sacraments—or, more accurately, the deprivation of sacraments—as instruments of power and control wielded by priests and hierarchs against vowed women who were considered to be deviant or insufficiently submissive. The intent is to analyze the phenomenon as more than just a collection of exceptional or arbitrary cases, but rather as systemic and oppressive behavior. What might appear as an aberrant example if the focus is on only one community can emerge as part of an important pattern by using a broader analytical lens. This is a work in progress, for which feedback is both welcome and appreciated!
