At the counsil of Pisa, Gerson's radical point of view on the supremacy of a grand council over the pope came unto great priminence, but it was at the Council of Constance (1414) that his ideas were really put into action.

Advocated the superiority of a general council including Doctors of Theology of which he was one, over the Pope.
