Lane	The Diversity of Vocations: Choosing a State of Life in Early Modern France	1904		.txt	text/plain	357	13	38	This advice on choosing a state of life illustrates the peculiar modernity of early modern Catholicism, which focused on the individual without jettisoning corporate identity, which held in tension the subjective good for the individual and an objective spiritual hierarchy, and which promoted a religiously-oriented individual liberty in the face of entrenched social and legal norms. The main source bases are works of spiritual advice and pastoral care from the early Middle Ages to the twentieth century, along with religious biographical sources and ecclesiatical records.	cache/2j62s467216.txt	txt/2j62s467216.txt
