Description
Summary:The expression "Reformation" has for centuries been exclusively used to indicate the religious movements of the 16th century, which, in controversy with the Roman Church, originated in Churches precisely called "reformed"; after the Council of Trento and until the mid-twentieth century, the term "reform" was symmetrically excluded from the Catholic language. This has long hindered historiography of the very possibility of recognizing the existence of a varied set of proposals and "reform" initiatives within the traditional Church before the "Reformation" (in the specific sense of the 16th century historical movements). In this essay the examination of this wide ecclesial phenomenon, which in recent decades has come to light in the historical consciousness, focuses mainly on the development of the reforming theme in the universal councils from the 14th to the 16th century and in some of the many reform memorials written in that same time span.
