	The conciliar nature of the Orthodox Church: definition and implications
		Conciliarity is not, as is sometimes assumed, an attribute of the episcopacy.
		Conciliarity is, of course, historically normative for the Church.
		Conciliarity is an expression of Truth, not a determiner of it.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Conciliar movement
		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 movement emerged in response to the Avignon papacy—; the popes removed from Rome and subject to pressures from the kings of France— and the ensuing schism that inspired the summoning of the Council of Constance (1414-1418).
		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.

		It highlights the distinction between constructive criticism of the ecumenical movement, and criticism whose purpose is to undermine the structures of canonical Orthodox churches.

	Liturgical Dancing
		Among the Fathers and ecclesiastical writers and in the conciliar texts there is mention of dancing, an evaluation of it, a comment on the biblical text in which there is an allusion to the dance; more frequently there is a condemnation of profane dances and the disorders to which the dances give rise.
		Conciliar decisions have often condemned the religious dance because it conduces little to worship and because it could degenerate into disorders.
		Such is the case of the Israelites: in the synagogue their prayer is accompanied by a continuous movement to recall the precept from tradition: "When you pray, do so with all your heart, and all your bones." And for primitive peoples the same observation can be made.

		The Conciliar movement is connected with the nature of the relationship between the papacy and the bishops of the Roman Catholic Church.

		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.
		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.

	Church History
		In order to heal the schism, and also to reform the church, the conciliar movement came to the foreground, hoping that a council of the entire church could decide who was the true pope.
		Eventually, the conciliar movement was able to put an end to the schism, and all came to an agreement on a single pope.
		There soon appeared another movement in Switzerland, first under the direction of Ulrich Zwingli, and then of John Calvin, which gave birth to the churches that we now call "Reformed" and "Presbyterian." Others took more radical positions, and were known by their enemies with the pejorative name of "anabaptists"-that is to say, rebaptizers.

	THE BREAKDOWN OF MEDIEVAL CIVILIZATION (1300 - 1500)
		By the middle of the fifteenth century the conciliar movement, as a means of changing the governmental system of the church, was dead.
		Thus the monarchical principal was retained, though the doctrine of conciliar supremacy was a most convenient weapon in the hands of such monarchs as the kings of France in their recurrent battles with the papacy.
		The movement in Bohemia was a revolt against the Roman church and an expression of Czech nationalism, directed particularly against the influence of Germans.

		In particular, the conciliar Fathers approved, exactly 40 years ago, a declaration on the question of religious freedom, namely, the right of persons and communities to be able to seek the truth and profess their faith freely.
		The first words that make up the title of this document are \"dignitatis humanae\": Religious freedom stems from the singular dignity of man who, among all the creatures of this earth, is the only one able to establish a free and conscious relationship with his creator.
		In fact, religious freedom is far from being ensured everywhere: In some cases it is denied for religious or ideological motives; in others, even though recognized in written form, it is hindered in practice by the political power or, in a more insidious way by the cultural prevalence of agnosticism and relativism.

	The Story Of Religious Controversy: Chapter XXVII
		And this Conciliar Movement, as it is called -- this plan of making General Councils of bishops higher than the Popes -- lasted quite a long time, and had the support of the finest scholars and prelates of Europe.
		Movements like that which Francis inaugurated were crushed by the Popes all over Europe; and Francis himself would have suffered like the others if he had had any intellect.
		The Luciferist or witch movement was the chief expression of it.

	Liturgy & Sacraments Documentation
		The liturgical movement which we represent is concerned with the enrichment, correction and resacralization of Catholic liturgical practice.
		It is concerned with a renewal of liturgical eschatology, cosmology and aesthetics, and with a recovery of the sense of the sacred--mindful that the law of worship is the law of belief.
		The revived liturgical movement calls for the promotion of the Liturgy of the Hours, celebrated in song as an action of the Church in cathedrals, parishes, monasteries and families, and of Eucharistic Adoration, already spreading in many parishes.

	Decline of the Church (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Positive action came in the form of the Conciliar Movement, a return to the early Christian practice of solving church problems by means of a general council of churches.
		The Conciliar Movement represented a reforming and democratizing influence in the church, aimed at transforming the papacy into an institution similar to a limited monarchy.
		But the movement was not to endure, even though the Council of Constance had solemnly decreed that general councils were superior to popes and that they should meet at regular intervals in the future.

		The second aspect of special interest in the Serdican canons is in their unusual, but not unique, form of publication and the light that this sheds on conciliar legislation in general and on its developing role in Church affairs during the fourth to sixth centuries.
		Second, I have affirmed evidence pointing toward the emergence of conciliar legislation in the late third century and have outlined the history of its development in the fourth and fifth.
		Perhaps the most significant contribution provided by this edition is an understanding of conciliar development that shows the earliest councils as having been both intra- and inter-congregational gatherings for the resolution of matters of common doctrinal and disciplinary concern in which the general membership was involved in the decision-making together with their leaders.

	Constance and its Aftermath: The Legacy of Conciliar Theory
		About the exercise of this inherent ecclesiastical authority under non-emergency conditions, these Conciliar theorists are not as precise, but they certainly envisaged some sort of continuing role for the general council in matters concerning the faith and in decisions affecting the general state or well-being of the Church.
		Thus the decree clearly affirms the contention basic to Conciliar theory that, under certain circumstances, the general council, acting alone, is possessed of an authority superior to that of any of the faithful, including the pope himself.
		A student of Conciliar theory may properly be forgiven if he finds much that is maddeningly familiar in the arguments of Catholic resistance theorists of the Counter Reformation era in France and England, even though an overt acknowledgment of dependence on Conciliar ideas is rare.

	Roman Catholic Traditionalism?
		For instance, in the indult movement, officially, priests are supposed to establish that those attending their Masses do not, "call into question the legitimacy and doctrinal exactitude of the Roman Missal promulgated by Pope Paul VI in 1970" (Quattuor abhinc annos).
		Thirty years ago when the movement was much smaller and church communities were more manageable "drifters" were less of a problem, but today, since the movement has grown so significantly it is much more difficult to avoid.
		The more critical end of the indult movement is represented by a number of North American periodicals such as The Remnant, Catholic Family News, and Latin Mass Magazine.

	History of Dutch Catholicism
		The energy of the missionary work focused however especially on countries outside Europe: an intensive mission movement was started, and in financial as well as in a personal way catholic Holland contributed so much to the church's missionary work, that the pope made it an example and called it "Hollandia docet".
		Initially the elan of the reform movement concealed the simultaneously increasing secularisation.
		The reform movement was attended by a dramatically fast breaking down of traditional religious and socio-political barriers in the Dutch society.

	LIGHT ON OUR BLESSED LADY
		Originally it was to occur within the planned document on the Church, but by the opening of the Council in October, 1962, it had become a separate document: "The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and Mother of Men." When the first session ended on December 8, the Fathers had not yet issued any document.
		The first conciliar document was on the sacred liturgy, Sacrosanctum concilium, Dec. 4, l963.
		On the basis of such considerations it may well be the task of the coming decades to integrate the Marian movement into the liturgical [movement] and to subordinate the former to the great theological motives of the latter.

	Message for the 50th anniversary of the Service of Community Animation of the Movement for a Better World
		The 1952 initiative that is commemorated this year, can only call to mind further developments, from the Second Vatican Council to the vast post-conciliar movement, from the Diocesan Synod of Rome to the most recent City Mission, undertaken in the years from 1996 to 1999 in preparation for the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000.
		The same inspiration has guided the mission of the Church through these years: the breath of the Holy Spirit is filling the sails of the Church whose route now takes her into the deep waters of the third millennium.
		In recent decades, the movement has spread to about 40 nations, and it strives to incarnate in concrete projects the broad vision of the Second Vatican Council and of the magisterium that followed, for a more intense ecclesial "communion".

	Catholic World News : The End of Gaudium et Spes?
		The conciliar decrees built upon that euphoria and in effect imposed a compulsory optimism on Catholics.
		Although Pope Paul VI famously spoke of the "smoke of Satan" as having entered the Church, it has generally been the custom of Vatican officials and diocesan bishops, in the years since the Council, to minimize the problems of the post-conciliar period and to speak of "renewal" as a stunning success.
		THE CASE OF THE UN The Council condemned no person or movement by name and, while pointing out the errors of Marxism, said nothing explicit about Communism, a remarkable gesture in a world where Christians were under severe persecution by totalitarian atheist regimes.

	THE COUNTER REFORMATION
		This reform movement, extending into the following century, raised the moral and educational standards of the clergy; inspired the church with a renewed zeal and morale, which enabled it to win back areas endangered by Protestantism; and contributed significantly to producing the Catholic church as we know it today.
		The popes and the members of their entourage in the Curia were inclined to be suspicious of the very idea of a general council, remembering the conciliar movement of the previous century, which had challenged papal supremacy in the church in the name of the representative principle.
		Thus the conciliar movement of the sixteenth century, like that of the fifteenth, marks a victory for the papacy within the church and another important step in the construction of papal absolutism.

	Ecumenicity: Rx for Urban Health
		As the ‘60s approached, the warm spirit of Pope John was quickening Protestant-Catholic relationships, Protestants were talking church union, the American conciliar movement was vigorous and growing.
		On balance, it would seem that the councils of churches were strategically situated to be of important service as an instrument of the churches in the city as America entered the urban era.
		In sum, the ecumenical movement has faltered at precisely the time when it is most needed.

		The Conciliar movement in the fifteenth century brought forth some good fruits but came to a bad end at the Council of Basel.

		The Second Vatican Council was able to build effectively on the revival of biblical and patristic studies, the liturgical movement, kerygmatic theology, the catechetical renewal, the lay apostolate, the ecumenical movement, and the social apostolate.
