		Diocesan synods are irregular meetings of the clergy and laity of a particular church summoned by the diocesan bishop (or other prelate if the particular church is not a diocese) to deliberate on legislative matters.
		In the Anglican Communion, synods are elected by clergy and laity.

		The Cadaver Synod occurred sometime in January 897 in the Church of St. John Lateran, the pope's official church in his capacity as Bishop of Rome.
		The Synod Horrenda was the cause of Stephen VII's prompt and precipitous downfall.
		Sergius III, who was pope from 904 to 911, reversed the decisions of the synods of Theodore II and John IX by convening a synod which quashed their invalidations of the Cadaver Synod and reaffirmed Formosus's conviction and sentence.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Formosus
		According to the acts of the synod, which are however of doubtful authenticity, the sentence of excommunication against Formosus was withdrawn, after he had promised on oath never to return to Rome or exercise his priestly functions.
		Formosus decided, in accordance with the decrees of the Synod of Frankfort (892), that Bremen should remain under the Archbishop of Hamburg until new dioceses were erected; Adalgar was to repair to the provincial synod of the Archbishop of Cologne.
		At the synod convened for that purpose, he occupied the chair; the corpse, clad in papal vestments, was withdrawn from the sarcophagus and seated on a throne; close by stood a deacon to answer in its name, all the old charges formulated against Formosus under John VIII being revived.

		The next pope, John IX, whose pontificate lasted from 898 to 900, also nullified the Cadaver Synod.Â At two synods convened by John IX, one in Rome, the other in Ravenna, the pronouncements of Theodore II's synod were confirmed, and any future trial of a dead person was prohibited.
		Incredibly, however, this was not the end of disputes about the legality of the Cadaver Synod.

		Synod 2005 took broad strides to intentionally accelerate ethnic diversity at synod and in the classes of the Christian Reformed Church.
		Synod is requested not to adopt the recommendation to "gratefully acknowledge the commitment of the OPC to be faithful to the Scriptures and to defend the Reformed heritage." The basic ground is that since the divergences have not been resolved this is inconsistent.
		All General Synods since 1980 rejected requests to rescind the decision on the ground that the divergences are not of such a nature that the OPC is not a true church.

		Stephen is chiefly remembered in connection with his conduct towards the remains of Pope Formosus, his last predecessor but one.
		Doubtless under pressure from the Spoleto contingent, the rotting corpse of Formosus was exhumed and put on trial, in the so-called Cadaver Synod (or Synodus Horrenda), in January 897.
		The corpse was found guilty, stripped of its sacred vestments, deprived of three fingers of its right hand, clad in the garb of a layman, and quickly buried; it was then re-exhumed and thrown in the Tiber.

		Pope from 891 to 896, who in death earned lasting fame for his participation in the gruesome Cadaver Synod.
		Born around 816, Formosus was probably a native of Rome, first receiving mention in history when he was appointed bishop of Porto in 864 by Pope Nicholas I. Winning the confidence of the pope, he was sent to Bulgaria as a legate.
		He executed the grotesque revenge of the Spoletans upon the deceased pontiff by convening the Cadaver Synod in January 897--arguably the lowest point in the history of the papacy--by exhuming Formosus's rotting body and placing it on trial.

		A local deacon was assigned as the cadaver's defense lawyer, although he seems to have played more the role of a ventriloquist: he had to stand in the shadows near the corpse and "answer in the defendant's name".
		He reaffirmed the verdict of the Cadaver Synod, which meant another round of chaotic reordinations for the luckless priests ordained by Formosus.
		These decades, from the Cadaver Synod on to poor rosy-cheeked slave-boy Pope John XI, are often called the "pornocracy" of the Church.

		In early 897, a bizarre event known as the "cadaver synod" occurred in St. John Lateran’s in Rome.

		Pope Sergius III (904—911) fueled the already confusing spectacle by nullifying John IX’s synod, thereby re-instating the former judgments against Formosus and his ordinations.

		Six months after the death of his predecessor, Stephen VI had Formosus' corpse brought to trial for capital crimes.
