Conciliarism was a movement in the 14th-, 15th- and 16th-century Catholic Church which held that supreme authority in the Church resided with an ecumenical council, apart from, despite, or even if opposed by, the pope. The movement emerged in response to the Western Schism between rival popes in Rome and Avignon.
