Foundations of the Conciliar Theory: The Contribution of the Medieval Canonists from Gratian to the Great Schism
Brian Tierney
This book explores the canonistic theories especially with conciliar theory, of Church government formulated between Gratian's Decretum (c. 1140) and the Great Schism (1378). It is concerned with the juristic development of the fundamental conciliar doctrine, the assertion that the universal Church was superior to the Church of Rome, with a consequent denial of the Pope's supreme authority.
