Zusammenfassung

This article approaches the situation that arose around the Bishop of Clermont Ferrans, Sidonius Apollinaris, who developed certain elements of social control in a complex way. The Bishop reflected the image of a great landowner, jealous of his privileges, who used diverse means to defend the way his city and territory were organized under the principles of stability and social control. It was within this system of domination that Christian charity played a large role, both in its practical dimension of helping the faithful and citizens in need, and in its ideological-discursive dimension.
