Simony, Peter Damian, Gregorian Reform, Fonte AvellanaAbstract
The simony has a long history of qualification and combat in Christian texts. In correspondence of Peter Damian found its main ecclesiological conceptions and the appropriate actions to combat this sin, which for many historians was the integrator element of a reform programme spearheaded by the papacy in the 11th century. From of the diachronic organization of Damian’s epistolary (1042-1072), in this article we will do a review of these studies, investigating the meanings of simony’s combat filed by avelanita. Specifically, we are interested in understand whether simony was a part of a "reform program" encouraged by the papacy and endorsed by partners of Peter Damian, or if it was a prerogative to strengthen and institutionalizing the eremitical community of Fonte Avellana.
