The seminar\u00a0is organised by Nathan & Jeanette Miller Centre for Historical Studies (University of Maryland) and PoliTeSse Research Centre (University of Verona) for the Marie Sklodowska Curie project SPACES – Sex, disPlacements And Cross cultural EncouterS. It\u00a0will focus on a series of inquisitorial cases in the Italian peninsula that were prosecuted between the 16th and 18th centuries. The defendants celebrated sexual freedom by referencing a heretical re-reading of the myth of the Fall from Grace. Stating that Adam and Eve practiced anal sex in the terrestrial paradise, they praised the pleasures of un-reproductive intercourse, both homo- and heterosexual. This idea was associated with the belief that \u201call can be saved in their own faith;\u201d that is, that eternal salvation could occur outside the sacramental boundaries of the Catholic Church and even beyond Christianity, thus including Jews and Muslims. By directly addressing one of the major tenets of the Christian faith \u2013 original sin \u2013 these heretics also addressed two of its main implications: that concupiscence is the major consequence of the Fall and that there was no salvation outside the boundaries of the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n
