The Council of Constance by Kendalynn Thomas 

I chose this topic to understand who were apart of the Council of Constance and what role did they have in the Reformation Movement?
 * Topic: ** The Council of Constance is a delicate topic, because it is also known under many other names. Another popular name is the Councils of Constance. It was addressed as the Councils of Constance, because there were more than on council that was formed in the cathedral of Constance in 1414. There is a debate that is trying to address the councils by labeling one council as illegitimate and the other as the legitimate council.


 * Argument: ** "It can be argued that the Constance assembly(Council of Constance) became a true and effective council when the three nations; Roman, Avignonese and Pisan met together in one place(the cathedral of Constance). A modified form of it held that the council was valid only valid after the three nations elected Odo Colanna as pope Martin V. This line of argument was popularized by Juan de Torquemada, Dominican papal apologist by the fifteenth century"( Izbicki, pg.7). The council ended the Great Western Schism and established a reformation of the Roman Catholic Church.
