Council of Pisa



         


The Council of Pisa met in 1409 to solve the Great Schism in the Catholic Church. However it succeeded in only complicating situation by deposing the two popes and electing a third. It was thus followed by the more successful Council of Constance which deposed two of the popes, forced the third to resign, and elected Martin V to office.
