The Crisis that summoned Council of Lateran V

The apologetic argument: The last council before the Reformation. Condemned the conciliarist Council of Pisa (1511). Defined the individual immortality of the soul against neo-Aristotelian philosophy. Attempted reforms of the clergy that were largely unenforced. Ended just months before Luther's 95 Theses.
