Old Catholic movement sighted in Germany
The article critiques the Old Catholic reform effort at Constance, detailing a new constitution that cedes church control to ordained clergy under a state overseer, creating a synod with laity delegates. It argues the scheme boosts lay rights but subordinates faith to governance, echoing Henry VIII era theater and warning against state entanglement with church authority.
