Conciliar movement

The Conciliar Movement was a Christian reform movement in the 14th and 15th centuries in the Roman Catholic Church which held that final authority in spiritual matters resided with the Church as a corporation of Christians, embodied by a general church council, not with the Pope.  This movement occurred in Western Europe.
Conciliarism was started by Pope Innocent III and is still used today in France.
