Topic: Conciliarism



  
 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.
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.
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.

 conciliarism - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about conciliarism
Though some conciliarists drew parallels with secular authority in constructing their arguments and though their arguments were potentially applicable beyond the confines of Church government, 15th-century conciliarism remained an ecclesiastical issue.
Theory of Catholic Church government developed in the late 14th and early 15th centuries, during and after the Great Schism (1378–1417, when rival popes had seats in Rome and Avignon), claiming that ultimate authority should lie with the General Councils of the Church.
More influentially, however, the store of ideas first created in discussions of Catholic Church government were deployed in a rather different context – by proponents of Calvinist resistance theory.

 The Council of Trent - Dr. Herbert Samworth
While the theory of Conciliarism failed in not giving the Scriptures the supreme authority in the Church, the movement, nevertheless, sought to implement the principle that there is wisdom in a number of counselors.
Despite the passing of these decrees, the Popes of the 15th century had managed to outmaneuver the Conciliar Movement and, by the time of the beginning of the 16th century, it no longer held a position of influence in the Church.
The decree Frequens taught that such councils were to be convened on a regular basis to insure that Church Councils remained a viable force in the Church.

 With expectation we have waited for Ecclesia Dei (mayecc25.htm)
The Conciliarists owe it to their new faith to root out and destroy the old Faith, while Catholics are in duty bound to refuse and to condemn the false new religion with all its pomps and all its works.
Now the old God-centered Catholic religion and the new man-centered Conciliar religion contradict one another, and as all wars are ultimately religious, so a contradiction of religions can only mean war.
But the survival of their new religion depends upon the destruction of that old religion which clearly shows Vatican II and the New Mass to be false.

 The Public Square (November 1996)
An earlier conciliar movement (Pisa 1409, Constance 1414-18, Basle 1431-38) was, inter alia, an effort to restore a measure of universality to the Church after a dismal century that witnessed "the Babylonian captivity" of a papal office that was virtually bought and sold by earthly powers.
These are among the words put to dubious use in the current round of conciliarism aimed at taming the Church and limiting the influence of this prophetic pontificate.
It is a fine irony that at this historical moment a new conciliar movement arises that seems determined to plunge the leadership of the Church back into the perpetual commotion of national and ideological factionalism.

In short, the Conciliarism of the fifteenth century was a movement of conservative catholic churchmen, not radical revolutionaries.
It still, however, refutes his premise that conciliarism is just as orthodox as papalism in the "Western authority tradition".
By now it should be beyond doubt that the Protestant reform movement was deeply in debt to and impacted by the conciliar theory—which in turn means that the Protestant reform movement was an orthodox catholic movement in some ways which simply are not amenable to standard Roman Catholic arguments about “the Church” and “rebellion”.

He declared that papal decisions could be reversed until they were ratified by the whole church, and he advocated faithfulness to the traditions of the Church of France (significantly, not the Church of Rome).
These attempted to clarify the theological justification of the Gallican Liberties by appealing to the conciliar theory and reasoning that Christ gave Peter and the popes spiritual authority but not temporal.
In the conciliar spirit a church council's authority would prevail over the edicts of any pope.

 PetersNet: Russell Shaw, The Battle Over Primacy
The essence of conciliarism is the idea that either in extraordinary circumstances (moderate conciliarism) or in ordinary ones (radical conciliarism) an ecumenical council has authority over the pope; while Gallicanism (together with its cousins Febronianism and Josephinism) leans in the direction of national churches, functioning with a strong element of secular control.
Other elements of Vatican I's teaching are: primacy was instituted by Christ in St. Peter; it is transmitted in perpetuity to Peter's successors, the popes; and there is no appeal from a judgment of the Roman pontiff to some higher authority, such as an ecumenical council.
Vatican I's definition of papal primacy signaled the quashing, after centuries of conflict and debate, of the movements called conciliarism and Gallicanism.

Transcendence is real, it is realized in a segment of temporal being that has a beginning and an end: immanence is also real as a state of eternal being.

 Council of Basle
Because reform was associated with conciliarism, and the whole business was so discredited, the papacy went into the later 15th century believing that the matter was closed.
The conciliar movement was also gradually losing secular support, the source of its original strength.
In fact, his election discredited the conciliar movement as being schismatic.

Many Protestants spend hundreds or thousands of hours in serious meditation on serious scholarly sources of Church history only to have it all blown off by RC's absolutely unshakeable implicit faith in whatever "the Church" happens to say.
And I've gotten absurdly uncharitable dismissal from most RCs of my inquiries into Realism and Nominalism, even to the point of your good buddy Dave Armstrong, the king of contemporary Catholic use of Realism as a historical hermeneutic, flippantly proclaiming that I have a "Gospel of Nominalism".
I don't expect Catholics to roll over and die because I say "Conciliarism", but call me a naive moron, I surely expected a lot more than what I've gotten.

The council also negotiated reunion with several smaller eastern churches (the Armenian Church, Nestorian Church, Jacobite Church, and Eastern Rite Churches) and challenged the conciliar theory (see Conciliarism) enunciated at the councils of Constance and Basel.
The Orthodox leaders had difficulty, however, winning approval from the clergy at home, and all semblance of unity dissolved after the fall of the Byzantine Empire to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.

In the war of religions presently raging between Catholicism and Conciliarism, the new pseudo-Catholicism let loose by the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), the book recently published by the Society of St. Pius X, "The Problem of the Liturgical Reform, the Mass of Vatican II and Paul VI", is a powerful cannon-ball.

With the promulgation of the Holy Father, the doctrinal content of the various councils is a part of the sacred magisterial teaching of the Church to which Melkites in full communion with the See of Rome give wholehearted assent.
Recent theological speculation has developed the concept of "communion of churches" with promising results for ecumenism and rapprochement with the Orthodox.
It would be a simple rekindling of the old controversy of conciliarism to suggest that some councils are less ecumenical than others.

 CNS STORY: Bishops' conference tradition 'here to stay,' Archbishop Dolan says
Even those bishops who are critical of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops "much prefer to be part of it and work through it to bring about the reforms they feel may be necessary," he said.
"This was a pontiff with a very public vision, ubiquitous in his travels, indefatigable in meeting with his brother bishops, nonstop in issuing his own pastoral letters and statements, who relished the conciliarism of world synods and extraordinary regional assemblies."
But the archbishop said one reason for the passing of the "heyday of American conciliarism" was "the towering figure of the bishop of Rome."

As someone who has been Anglican and Roman Catholic before becoming Orthodox the issue of authority is also interesting to me. In Anglicanism I'm not quite sure where the authority lies, so I have to conclude that it's really a Protestant system trying to masquerade as hierarchal conciliarism.

 Basel, Council of. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
The Council of Constance had seen the rise of the conciliar theory, the doctrine that the ultimate authority in the church rests upon the general council, to which the pope must be subject.
The German king Frederick III (who was later crowned Holy Roman emperor) remained neutral, but in 1448 his pressure on the city forced the delegates to retire to Lausanne.
It had been the plan to have frequent councils, but that of Basel was the first of importance to follow Constance, that of Pavia-Siena (1423–24) having accomplished little.

Indeed, a name was given to these efforts—conciliarism, the most immediate and direct term that the Church could accommodate.
In short, conciliarism meant that the pope was not the single authority who assigns policy and makes decisions, because these decisions and policies needed for their validity and universality the contribution of the bishops and, eventually, of other officeholders, too (and not necessarily just ecclesiastics).
In fact, the very meaning of the council shifted, exemplified by the Council of Trent (1545-1563), where the debate concentrated on facing the Reformation and reorganizing the Church's internal affairs.

The pope had good reason to fear that if he convoked a council right now that it might declare itself to be superior to him and he would be enmeshed again in the old question of conciliarism.

Scholars in the field of early modern Europe consider various ways in which contemporaries in different walks of life expressed their understanding of, and participation in, the political community, using new approaches drawn from cultural history, the history of ideologies and a resurgence of interest in the history of institutions.
Subjects discussed include institutional rivalries and how they complicated efforts to mount opposition to government policies; political thought and concepts such as sovereignty, conciliarism, and dominum; and how contemporary understanding of the political order was worked out in a cultural context.
The volume also suggests new directions for research.
