Konziliare oder päpstliche Reform

Benedikt XII. und die Reformdiskussion im frühen 14. Jahrhundert

[Conciliar or Papal Reform. Benedict XII and the Discussion on the Reform of Orders in the Early 14th Century. By Jan Ballweg.]

Published in German.

Jan Ballweg deals with the ecclesiological debates in the early 14th century and their implications for church reform at the Council of Vienne and under Popes John XXII and Benedict XII. He describes the concepts of conciliarism, episcopalism and papalism and tries to show the impact of intellectual history (political theory, canon law, law of the monastic orders) on church history in general. One of the main purposes of the book is to analyze the reformatory efforts of Pope Benedict XII.
