	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: General Councils
		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.
		The infallibility of the council is intrinsic, i.e.
		The Councils of Constance and of Basle affirmed with great emphasis that an Ecumenical council is superior in authority to the pope, and French theologians have adopted that proposition as one of the famous four Gallican Liberties.

	Holy Transfiguration Antiochian Orthodox Church—Ecumenical Councils
		Councils which properly reflected the faith, as shown by the agreement of the bishops and acceptance by the laity, are called Ecumenical Councils, and are seven in number.
		The seven Ecumenical Councils cover the period between 325-757 AD, and the faith expressed by them are the foundation of Christian doctrine accepted by both the Eastern and Western Churches.
		Note that the Western Church accepts some later Councils as Ecumenical, but since these were convened and attended only by representatives of the Roman Church, they are are not accepted by the Orthodox Church as Ecumenical Councils, and no decisions of these Roman Catholic Councils have any authority in the Orthodox Church.

		The Fifth Ecumenical Council met in Constantinople in 553 and was convoked by Emperor Justinian I. The Monophysite controversy continued unabated even after the condemnation of Eutyches and the issuing of the Chalcedonian Statement of Faith.
		The Council confirmed the Church's teaching on the dual nature of Christ, and reaffirmed that He is both Truly God and Truly Man. Emperor Justinian himself confessed his Orthodox faith in a form of the famous Church hymn "Only begotten Son and Word of God" which is sung during the Divine Liturgy.
		Actually, the Quinisext may be considered to be the continuation of all the preceding Ecumenical Councils inasmuch as by its 2nd canon it received and ratified all of their canons and decisions.

		The Seventh Ecumenical Council was held in (787) under the Empress Irene and upheld the veneration of icons, crystallizing the theology of the image.

		Council developed the theology of the sacred image, "at exactly the same time, the Libri Carolini poisoned Western art at its very root." (Evdokimov, L'Art Sacre) At a single stroke, they deprive the sacred image of its dogmatic basis and deliver it to the imagination of the artists.

		The Council condemned and repudiated the heresy of Arius and affirmed the immutable truth, the dogma that the Son of God is true God, born of God the Father before all ages, and is eternal, as is God the Father; He was begotten, and not made, and is of one essence with God the Father.
		The Council was called because of the false doctrine of Nestorius, Archbishop of Constantinople, who profanely taught that the Most-holy Virgin Mary simply gave birth to the man Christ, with whom then God united morally and dwelled in Him, as in a temple, as previously He had dwelled in Moses and other prophets.
		The Council reiterated its censure of the heresies of Nestorius and Eutychius.

	An Ecumenical Council Officially Condemns a Pope for Heresy
		This is well illustrated by the actions of the 6th Ecumenical Council (III Constantinople) held in 680-681 A.D. This Council is well known in Church history for its official condemnation of a number of leading Eastern Bishops as well as a Bishop of Rome for embracing and promoting heretical teachings.
		Again, the sixth Ecumenical Council referred to Honorius in the sixteenth session, on August 9, 681, at the acclamations and exclamations with which the transactions of this day were closed.
		According to both Roman Catholic and Orthodox theology an Ecumenical Council is infallible so all the arguments which attempt to dismiss the judgment of this Council saying that it was mistaken or that it rushed to judgment or whatever, are simply erroneous and empty, on the basis of their own theology.

		One of the Councils often cited by Roman Catholic apologists in favor of the Councils of Hippo and Carthage is the 'Quinisext' Council, also known as the Council of Trullo.
		II Nicea considered the decrees of the Council of Trullo to be those of the sixth Ecumenical Council.
		Thus, we must conclude that the decrees of the Council of Trent, relative to the true canon of Scripture, were made with brazen disregard for Jewish and patristic historical evidence, as well for the overall historical consensus of the Church prior to that Council.

		An ecumenical council is a meeting of the bishops of the whole church convened to discuss and settle matters of Church doctrine and practice.
		Catholics, on the other hand, take the whole church to mean "only" those in full communion with the (Roman) Catholic church.
		However, both churches do recognize the validity of all of the early councils before the Great Schism, with the exception of the Fourth Council of Constantinople (which occurred in either 869-870 or 879-880, depending on whether one is Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox, respectively).
