Am I the only one who has problems with the text on this page? I found it difficult to understand, and not at all structured in the same way as the articles for the other Ecumenical Councils. If anyone with any knowledge of the topic can help clean it up I would be eternally grateful :) Mishac 00:33, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Agreed this article needs a re-write but I don't know enough about it to do a very good job. jlechem

Chalcedon

A citation is required to prove the statement made about the Council of Chalcedon declaring the Three Chapters as orthodox. Deusveritasest (talk) 05:47, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Origen and reincarnation

I'm surprised that the claim that Origenism was an "[e]arly Christian movement that accepted the theory of Reincarnation" has gone unchallenged. The page on Origen claims that he specifically repudiated the concept, an assertion that appears well-supported. Therefore I have removed the offending parenthetical note.

What a pity that this detail was removed because puristic christians don't/didn't like it. Not objective, mods should've left it to people for decide for themselves so makes me wonder if there are other articles which are edited in non-objective way...? Luckily at least this remark has been left here as a mark of unobjective editing 85.76.32.54 (talk) 06:50, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

If the account in the article is accurate, it would seem that the Pope never authorized or recognized the Council. If that's true, why is it that the Roman Catholic Church does so recognize it? Peter jackson (talk) 10:55, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

The Roman Catholics are very wary of the circumstances surrounding this Council and Pope Vigil, because it can be supported that a Pope yielded to the authority of a Council. Pope Vigil changed his differing position and agreed with the Council, after the Council ignored him and even went as far to cast him out of the Church body (stricken from the diptychs, i.e. the list of the recognized bishops of the Church).

Note: I believe Davis, The First Seven Ecumenical Councils, indicates that this council was accepted in the west indirectly through the acceptance of Constantinople III. (In a similar way, Constantinople I only came to be considered an ecumenical council rather than a local council through its acceptance at the Council of Chalcedon.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelabril (talk • contribs) 23:14, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

The image by Surikov I am pretty sure actually represents the first Council of Constantinople, not the second. It's called "The second ecumenical council of Constantinople" because it is the second after Nicaea, which is first. It does not mean "The second council of Constantinople," which is the fifth in order. Michael Anthony Abril 23:16, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
