The council excommunicated and deposed Frederick and absolved his subjects of their oaths of fealty; the actions of the council, however, had no political effect.
The second of these councils was held in 1274 under Pope Gregory X. Attended by some 500 bishops, it was called principally to effect a reunion of the Western and Eastern churches, but, although a reunion was indeed reached at the council, it proved transitory.
Many bishops and prelates were unable to attend the council because they had been prevented by the invasions of the Tartars in the east or the attacks of the Saracens in the holy Land, or because Frederick II had intimidated them (especially the Sicilians and Germans).

Ecumenical Councils are those to which the bishops, and others entitled to vote, are convoked from the whole world (oikoumene) under the presidency of the pope or his legates, and the decrees of which, having received papal confirmation, bind all Christians.
A council, Ecumenical in its convocation, may fail to secure the approbation of the whole Church or of the pope, and thus not rank in authority with Ecumenical councils.

 List of Councils -- Apolonio's Catholic Apologetics, Philosophy, Spirituality
What we do know is that as early as the second century (100-200 AD) it was the custom for the bishops who came together for a bishop's funeral to take charge of the election of his successor.
The history of the twenty General Councils shows that the bishops--a section of them--not infrequently fought at the council the policies of the popes who had summoned the council, and fought even bitterly.
But in no council has it been moved that the bishop of X be promoted to the place of the Bishop of Rome, or that the Bishop of Rome's views be disregarded, and held of no more account than those of the bishop of any other major see.

 LT66 - ON THE PROCESSION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, with the intent of producing this clarification called for by the Holy Father, and as a contribution to the dialogue undertaken by the Joint International Commission between the Roman Catholic Church and the Greek Orthodox Church, published in French a lengthy doctrinal note in September 1995.
Historically, in the creed professed in Greek at the Ecumenical Council of Constantinople in 38l A.D., which is the basis of the creed recited liturgically in the Roman Catholic Church, in the article "who proceeds from the Father and the Son," the expression "and the Son" was not present.
Thus, the Fourth Lateran Ecumenical Council declared in 1215 A.D. that the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are "consubstantial and coequal and coomnipotent and coeternal" (DS 800), and there have been many similar solemn statements of faith both before and after this decree.

 MEDIEVAL SERVITE
In the period shortly before or surely immediately after the Second Council of Lyons (1274), all traces of the original mendicant poverty professed by the friars were necessarily removed from the legislation of the Order, although there is evidence that in many places the friars continued to live a very poor life.
Some bishops of the period were of the opinion that the Order of Servants of Saint Mary was indeed included in the decrees of the Second Council of Lyons, and they refused to permit the friars in their dioceses to receive novices.
Mary is considered as a means both in presenting to God the needs of men who, conscious of their own imperfections, implore and invoke her to reconcile them with her Son or obtain what they desire, and in making the graces requested descend upon them or disposing them for the fulfillment of the Divine Will.

 The Church presents Mary as 'ever virgin' September 4,1996
We find it used in the second symbol of faith composed by St Epiphanius in the year 374, in relation to the Incarnation: the Son of God "was incarnate, that is, he was generated in a perfect way by Mary, the ever blessed virgin, through the Holy Spirit" (Ancoratus, 119,5; DS 44).
This doctrine was confirmed by the Second Vatican Council, which states that the firstborn Son of Mary "did not diminish his Mother's virginal integrity but sanctified it" (Lumen gentium, n.
As regards her virginity after the birth, it must first of all be pointed out that there are no reasons for thinking that the will to remain a virgin, which Mary expressed at the moment of the Annunciation (cf.
