Description
During the Counter-Reformation in southern Europe, Catholic Church officials legitimized miracles performed by candidates to sainthood. The Rationalization of Miracles uncovers a tacit understanding between central religious officials and local religious activists, from which the institutional field of modern sainthood emerged.
