This paper looks at the decrees of the Councils of Constance (1414-1418) and Vatican II (1962-1965). Both councils taught that full and supreme power was not exercised by the Pope alone, thus advocating some sharing of power within the governance of the Church. Despite the doctrine formulated by these councils, further consideration is given to the reasons why various forms of shared governance have failed to be put into practice.
