Conciliar theory. The doctrine that supreme authority in the Church lies with a
General Council. The movement associated with the theory culminated in the 15th cent., but the foundations of it were laid in the early 13th, when canonists found difficulty in reconciling the increasing claims of Papal authority with the theoretical possibility of a heretical Pope. The outbreak of the
Great Schism in 1378 raised the question of authority in an acute form. In 1380
Conrad of Gelnhausen advocated the summoning of a General Council, arguing that the absence of a single recognized Pope left the duty of convening it to the
cardinals. In the early sessions of the Council of
Constance it was claimed that the power of the Council came directly from Christ, but the very success of the Council in ending the schism weakened the position of the conciliarists.
Pius II in 1460 specifically forbade appeals from the Pope to a future General Council, and after the 15th cent. support for the Conciliar theory waned.
