A council convened after a papal schism

This reference work concerns the Second Council of the Lateran, convened by Pope Innocent II in April 1139. The supplied description places the council in the aftermath of the disputed papal election of 1130, when Pietro Pierleoni was established as the antipope Anacletus II. It identifies the council’s immediate purpose as addressing the consequences of that schism and notes its recognition as the Catholic Church’s tenth ecumenical council. The account is anchored in a specific episode of medieval Church history and the institutional response to a divided papacy.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers studying Catholic Church history and ecumenical councils.
  • Readers seeking reference material on the papal schism following the 1130 election.

Book overview

The Second Council of the Lateran was the tenth ecumenical council recognized by the Catholic Church. It was convened by Pope Innocent II in April 1139 and attended by close to a thousand clerics. Its immediate task was to neutralize the after-effects of the schism which had arisen after the death of Pope Honorius II in 1130 and the papal election that year that established Pietro Pierleoni as the antipope Anacletus II.
