The Conciliarist Tradition: Constitutionalism in the Catholic Church 1300-1870
Oakley, Francis (, Interim President of the American Council of Learned Societies and President Emeritus of Williams College, Massachusetts)
Talks about the fundamental constitution of the Catholic Church. In 1870 the First Vatican Council vindicated the old Roman vision of an essentially unlimited monarchical authority residing in the pope. The author here reconstructs the half-millennial history of that rival and now largely forgotten tradition.
