Council of Constance
The Council of Constance was an
ecumenical council considered valid by the
Roman Catholic Church. The council was called by the
Emperor Sigismund, a supporter of
Antipope John XXIII, the pope recently elected at Pisa. The council was held from
November 16, 1414 to
April 22, 1418 in
Constance. Its main purpose was to end the
Papal schism which had resulted from the
Avignon Papacy. The Council of Constance marked the high point of the
Conciliar movement to reform the Church. According to
Joseph McCabe, the council was attended by roughly 29
cardinals, 100 "learned doctors of law and divinity," 134
abbots, 183
bishops and
archbishops, and 1,000
prostitutes.
