| | Conciliarism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the history of Christianity, the Conciliar movement or "Conciliarism" was a reform movement in the 14th and 15th century Catholic Church that held that final authority in spiritual matters resided with a general church council, not with the pope. | | | While not involved in the Conciliar movement of the 14th and 15th centuries, the Eastern Orthodox Church generally agrees with the conciliarists that final authority resides with the church councils rather than with the pope. | | | The word "Conciliarism" is used when subtexts of heterodoxy or heresy are to be subtly emphasized, and aspects of structural reform within the Roman church are to be downplayed. |

| | Encyclopedia: The Conciliar Movement |
| | Conciliarism proper, the theory that the supreme judicial organ of the Church of Jesus Christ is the General Council (of the whole Church, East and West), is a very old ecclesiological theory in Christendom, advocated by as many notable figures as the other great Western theory, papalism. | | | Based upon conciliarism proper, the Conciliar Movement per se was a fifteenth century series of General Councils (of the West) designed to secure the reform of the Church "in head and members" (in capitis et membris). | | | This was a serious seed of internal dissent within the Conciliar Movement, and later popes would make great use of it. |

| | Rights 9: A Constitution for the Catholic Church |
| | Conciliar government has its foundation in the vision of the Gospel, in the biblical teaching on conscience, freedom, personhood, rights in justice, and the claims of truth. | | | The medieval conciliar movement generated an impressive theological and juridical elaboration of the Church's conciliar constitution. | | | We need a constitutional convention and a conciliar understanding of the Church if true and living community is to develop. |

| | The first, that the source of fourteenth- and early fifteenth-century conciliar theory is to be found in the secular constitutional developments of the previous centuries. | | | Its rise to prominence was occasioned by a crisis in the life of the church: the disputed papal election of 1378, the subsequent protracted schism, and the failure of repeated attempts to end it. | | | When later in the century Lord Acton came to allude to the conciliar issue, what Hallam had seen as a live ecclesiological option for the Catholics of his day had become a matter of interest only to the archaeologists of defunct ideologies. |

| | The early Puritan Movement (late 16th century-17th century) was Reformed or Calvinist and was a movement for reform in the Church of England. | | | The major individualistic reform movements that revolted against medieval scholasticism and the institutions that underpinned it were: humanism, devotionalism, and the observatine tradition. | | | The Protestant Reformation was a movement which emerged in the 16th century as a series of attempts to reform the Roman Catholic Church in Western Europe. |

| | Positive action came in the form of the Conciliar Movement, a return to the early Christian practice of solving church problems by means of a general council of churches. | | | The Conciliar Movement represented a reforming and democratizing influence in the church, aimed at transforming the papacy into an institution similar to a limited monarchy. | | | In Bohemia, where a strong reform movement linked with the resentment of the Czechs toward their German overlords was under way, Wycliffe’s doctrines were popularized by Czech students who had heard him at Oxford. |

| | Thus, the better-known social movements, the Communes, the Crusades, and the Reform of the Church, did not replace the "failed" Peace of God; to a large extent they arose directly from it. | | | Already by the 1050s the movement was giving way to more efficacious ones, such as would give medieval Western culture its stamp: the King's Peace, the Church Reform, the Communes, and the Crusades. | | | Commoners began to share in the oaths and the responsibilities of the Peace Assemblies, the crowds and the assemblies multiplied, and the movement began to develop legislation. |

| | On the negative side, it should be recognized that the strongest supporters of this conciliar movement over the years were the ‘free" church people, especially Baptists, Congregationalists and Methodists (though more recently Presbyterians and Lutherans have also been in the forefront). | | | As the ‘60s approached, the warm spirit of Pope John was quickening Protestant-Catholic relationships, Protestants were talking church union, the American conciliar movement was vigorous and growing. | | | The church, it was said, needed to be truly ecumenical and "out where the action is." (This was an interesting period for the council administrator, who was told by some that his organization was too tradition-bound and conservative and by others that it was too radical.) |

| | It was Stott who summed up Lausanne for Ecumenical readers.
