		It is true that those councils were not ecumenical councils, hence they did not speak for the whole church.

		The holy synod which assembled at Laodicea in Phrygia Pacatiana, from divers regions of Asia; set forth the ecclesiastical definitions which are hereunder annexed.
		The only question [presented by this canon] is whether this synod forbade the laity to take any part in the Church music, as Binius and others have understood the words of the text, or whether it only intended to forbid those who were not cantors taking the lead.
		Van Espen and Neander in particular were in favour of the latter meaning, pointing to the fact that certainly in the Greek Church after the Synod of Laodicea the people were accustomed to join in the singing, as Chrysostom and Basil the Great sufficiently testify.

		The Canon recognized by the Catholic Church for the past fifteen centuries (73 books) was specified in the Council of Laodicea in 367 A.D., and was definitely adopted in the Council of Carthage in 397 A.D., after being sent to the pope for confirmation.
		Finally at this Council a union of minds was reached as to the canonicity of the whole 73 books and epistles.
		The Council of Trent (1546) therefore deemed it expedient to declare, ex-cathedra, that is by the infallible authority of the Church, that the list of books adopted at the Council of Carthage is the authoratative, the finally determined, collection of writings composed under Divine inspiration.

	The church of the New Testament
		The Greek Council of Laodicea was the first Council of bishops which took any action at all on the canon, and it convened A.D. This Council published among its decrees a catalogue of the canonical books as they are now received, with the exception of Revelation.
		But it was not the authority of this or of subsequent councils that settled the canon for early Christians, or that enables modern scholars to distinguish the spurious from the genuine books of the New Testament.
		The canon had already been settled in the minds of the great mass of Christians, and catalogues of the genuine books had been published before the meeting of the Council of Laodicea, so that all this council did in the matter was to recognize the canon which was already received by the churches at large.
