Gallicanism
The attempts of the Church of
France to maintain its independence from, or
in some periods its lordship over, the papacy have
often been justified with the language of Orthodox
autocephaly. In modern times, a number of Gallicans
have converted to Eastern Orthodoxy, and when an
autocephalous French Orthodox Church finally emerges,
it will no doubt count some of the Gallicans among its
forerunners.
