| Abstract | This session will deal with the electoral practices for the choice of bishops in West Christianity, in connection to a larger research project about the disputes on bishops' choices. How is the election into the trials about bishops' choices introduced and explained? We will consider the kind of argumentation used about the election, the place of history, of law and customs into the discussions about it, in order to enlighten the evolutions of the ecclesiology from the Gregorian ages to the electoral revival of the 15th century. |
