Question 1

Correct Answer:

Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

Conciliarism refers to the belief that a general council of the Church has greater authority than the Pope. This idea emerged during the 14th and 15th centuries as a response to the Western Schism, a period of division within the Catholic Church when there were multiple claimants to the papacy.

Conciliarism was historically significant because it challenged the traditional authority of the Pope and led to a series of church councils, such as the Council of Constance, which aimed to resolve the issue of papal legitimacy. Ultimately, the conciliarist movement was not successful in permanently diminishing the power of the papacy, but it did contribute to the broader discussion of church governance and the balance of power within the Catholic Church.

Christine de Pizan agreed that killing Joan of Arc had been a good idea, as this execution protected the proper ideal of women everywhere.
