Captions available
The idea
The Council of Constance, fourteen fourteen to eighteen on the witness, ended the Schism by electing Martin V in fourteen seventeen and claimed that councils hold ultimate authority, the via consilii, against the Doctrine of the Keys.
In practice
The conciliar movement at its height.
Where people slip
The anchor never names Constance. The witness does.
