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)
In 1870 the First Vatican Council vindicated the old Roman vision of an essentially unlimited monarchical authority residing in the pope, thus vanquishing an even older, conciliar, essentially constitutionalist ideal of church governance. This book reconstructs the half-millennial history of that rival and now largely forgotten tradition.
