	Council of Jerusalem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Council of Jerusalem" is a name applied in retrospect to a meeting described in Acts of the Apostles chapter 15.
		Though it doesn't mention a council, its title strongly suggests it is meant to represent the decree of that council.
		Related to the Didache are the texts: Epistle of Barnabas, Apostolic Constitutions, Didascalia Apostolorum [1], Apostolic Church Ordinances [2], Summary of Doctrine, Life of Schnudi and On the Teaching of the Apostles (or Doctrina).

	Council of Vienne 1311-1312 A.D.
		The general council of Vienne was summoned by pope Clement V with the bull Regnans in caelis, which he had written on 12 August 1308 at Poitiers (the Roman pontiff had remained in France from the year of his election, thus beginning the period of the church's history known as the Avignon captivity).
		The council of Vienne is seen as an outstanding example of this political pressure, although the pope energetically defended the liberty of the church as far as circumstances allowed and he himself had the power.
		Moreover, with the approval of the said council, we reject as erroneous and contrary to the truth of the catholic faith every doctrine or proposition rashly asserting that the substance of the rational or intellectual soul is not of itself and essentially the form of the human body, or casting doubt on this matter.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Plenary Council
		Later usage has restricted the term plenary to those councils which are presided over by a delegate of the Apostolic See, who has received special power for that purpose, and which are attended by all the metropolitans and bishops of some commonwealth, empire, or kingdom, or by their duly accredited representatives.
		Synods of a somewhat similar nature (though approaching nearer to the idea of a general council) were the Council of Arles in Gaul in 314 (at which were present the Bishops of London, York, and Caerleon), and the Council of Sardica in 343 (whose canons were frequently cited as Nicene canons).
		Thus, the Councils of Milevis and Carthage condemned Pelagianism, and the Council of Orange (Arausicanum) Semipelagianism.

	Vatican II and Parish Councils
		The "apostolic" function (including the "coordination" of lay initiatives) was assigned, in the "Decree on the Church's Missionary Activity," to pastoral councils.[ #22 ] Moreover, at least one later Vatican document failed to maintain the pastoral/apostolic distinction.
		He states that the earliest parish councils, who based themselves on the "apostolic" council idea of Laity 26, were not pastoral enough.[ #26 ] In his mind, it is consistent with the intention of Vatican II to apply the ideas of both Laity 26 and Bishops 27 to parish pastoral councils.
		Parish councils, they said, were insufficiently pastoral, preoccupied with decision-making, jealous of their power to dictate policy and programs, unfocused on the development of the parish mission, and concerned more about coordinating existing efforts than about planning for the future.[ #35 ] The five did not like what they saw.

	APOSTOLIC CONSTITUTION
		The Council is convened by the cardinal secretary of state, usually twice a year, to consider those economic and organizational questions which relate to the administration of the Holy See, with the assistance, as needed, of experts in these affairs.
		The Council is to urge and support laypeople to participate in the life and mission of the Church in their own way, as individuals or in associations, especially so that they may carry out their special responsibility of filling the temporal order with the spirit of the Gospel.
		With special solicitude the Council looks to Catholic newspapers and periodicals, as well as radio and television stations, that they may truly live up to their nature and function, by transmitting especially the teaching of the Church as it is laid out by the Church’s magisterium, and by spreading religious news accurately and faithfully.

	Decrees of the First Vatican Council
		This council was summoned by Pope Pius IX by the bull Aeterni Patris of 29 June 1868.
		The purpose of the council was, besides the condemnation of contemporary errors, to define the catholic doctrine concerning the church of Christ.
		As in other councils at which the pope was present and presided, the decrees were in the form of bulls, at the end of which was the clear declaration: "with the approval of the sacred council".

	Encyclopedia: Apostolic Council (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Apostolic Council is recounted in the Biblical New Testament book of Acts, chapter 15, and by Paul in his letters to the Galatians and the Colossians ; the account in Acts and Pauls own report are from fairly different angles.
		Acts states that Paul was the head of a delegation from the Antiochene church that came to discuss whether Christians should continue to observe Mosaic Law, most important of which were the practice of circumcision and dietary laws.
		Despite the agreement they achieved at the Apostolic Council, Paul recounts how when he met Peter in Antioch not long after their meeting in Jerusalem, he berated that apostle over his reluctance to share a meal with gentile Christians (Gal.

	The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council - Dedicated to "The Immaculate".
		Long before the Council began, the bishops of the Catholic world were asked to submit their proposals for subjects to be raised in the Council sessions.
		The Council drew attention to the age-old tradition of sacred music and singing, closely linked to the liturgy; and the Constitution declares that worship becomes more noble when it is carried out with solemn singing, especially when the celebrant, ministers and people take an active part.
		The Council Fathers decided to submit this question to the Pope for a ruling, and expressed the hope that this ruling would be given in advance of the promulgation of the reform in Canon Law.

		Nevertheless, though a venerable mirror of ancient Christian life and blameless in doctrine, their claim to genuine Apostolic origin is quite false and untenable.
		Hincmar of Reims (died 882) declared that they were not written by the Apostles, and as late as the middle of the eleventh century, Western theologians (Cardinal Humbert, 1054) distinguished between the eighty-five Greek canons that they declared apocryphal, and the fifty Latin canons recognized as "orthodox rules" by antiquity.
		The influence of the Apostolic Canons was greatly increased by the various versions of them soon current in the Christian Church, East and West.

	THE APOSTOLIC COUNCIL OF JERUSALEM
		At this stage, in late autumn 49, was held the Apostolic Council of Jerusalem.
		Therefore this apostolic council should be interpreted in the light of prevailing Jewish precepts.
		The apostolic council was divided into Peter's speech (15:7-12), James's proposed solution (15:13-21) and the apostles' "unanimous" decision, which Judas Barsabbas and Silas delivered in writing to the Gentile Christian churches (15:23-29).

	Medieval Sourcebook: Council of Chalcedon, 451
		But neither subscriptions privately made before the council, nor these vehement cries of the Fathers in the council, were thought sufficient to tranquillize minds in so unsettled a state of the Church, for fear that a matter so important might seem determined rather by outcries than by fair and legitimate discussion.
		The forma is set forth by the Apostolic See, yet it is to be received with a judgment, and that free, and each bishop individually is inferior to the First, yet so that all together pass judgment even on his decree.
		Before the holding of the Council of Chalcedon, in the Greek Church, the canons of several synods, which were held previously, were gathered into one collection and provided with continuous numbers, and such a collection of canons, as we have seen, lay before the Synod of Chalcedon.

	Under Clement V Council of Vienne
		We therefore ask, admonish and earnestly exhort you, also commanding you strictly by apostolic ordinance in virtue of obedience, to pay without difficulty the tithe for six years beginning from 1 October.
		The tithe is to be paid in the customary way, namely for the first half of the first year on 1 October next, and for the second half on 1 April immediately following, and in the same way for each of the remaining five years.
		Furthermore, our intention is that, if there are hospices which have had from old times an altar or altars and a cemetery, with priests who celebrate divine services and administer the sacraments to the poor, or if the parish priests have been accustomed to do this, these ancient customs are to be retained.

		This is the apostolic and evangelic tradition, which the spiritual mother of your most felicitous empire, the Apostolic Church of Christ, holds.

	New Covenant Church of God, Sermons: 161. MATURE DISCIPLESHIP - Apostolic Council for the Church (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		I find that one of the most difficult tasks of a minister is teaching the people just what discipleship is. Beyond the favourite scriptural quotations, which can become clichés if not filled with substance, most new Christians have little idea what discipleship is and, if honest, have little desire to enter fully into its spirit.
		Neither I nor the apostolate bring any "new" teaching; the apostles of today are the faithful custodians of the original apostolic witness which they obtained from the living Christ.
		As a member of the apostolate, one of my calls is to reveal this diabolical double-play of the flesh.

		With the instinctive perception of the real nature of the case that characterises the genius for organisation, Paul from the first directed his steps in the path which the Church had to tread.
		He made no false step, he needed no tentatives before he found the path, he had to retract nothing (except perhaps the unsuccessful compromise embodied in the Decree of the Apostolic Council, pp.
		It is not necessary to assert or to prove that he consciously anticipated all that was to take place; but he was beyond all doubt one of those great creative geniuses whose policy marks out the lines on which history is to move for generations and even for centuries afterwards.
