conciliar movement

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

conciliar movement

In the history of the Christian church, a 15th-century attempt to urge the supremacy of church councils over the popes, with regard to the Great Schism and the reformation of the church. Councils were held in Pisa 1409, Constance 1414-18, Pavia-Siena 1423-24, Basle 1431-49, and Ferrara-Florence-Rome 1438-47.

After ending the Schism 1417 with the removal of John XXIII (1410-15), Gregory XII (1406-15), and Benedict XIII (1394-1423), and the election of Martin V (1417-31), the movement fell into disunity over questions of reform, allowing Eugenius IV (1431-47) to use the Ferrara-Florence-Rome council to reunite the church and reassert papal supremacy.
