Resurrexi Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) State which Oecumenical Council you consider greatest and [i]why[/i]. Because regulations limiting the number of poll responses to 15, some Oecumenical Councils have been grouped together. If the Oecumenical Council which you consider greatest is grouped with another Council or other Councils, chose response containing the Council you consider greatest.

jeffpugh Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 Wow. This is a heavy-weight's topic. Seeing I only know of a few... I'll wait before I vote...
Laudate_Dominum Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 That is a tough question. I voted for Trent because I find the decrees to be particularly phat, but many of the Councils rock my socks..

goldenchild17 Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 I'm currently working through a book that summarizes all of the councils but I'm not completely familiar with all of them, but I have a fairly decent grasp on Vatican I and Trent.

Guest JeffCR07 Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Just a general question, and I am not trying to poke fun in any way, I am genuinely curious - why are you spelling it "Oecumenical" as opposed to Ecumenical? The Vatican's website uses the translation "Ecumenical," so why the "O" in the beginning? Oh, and I feel bad picking favorites. It feels like I'm being asked which parent I like more, my mom or my dad. Its just not a question I know how to answer. Your Brother In Christ, Jeff

Your Brother In Christ, Jeff[/quote] I believe that it is closer to the Latin word "[i]oecumenicus[/i]". As an example the formal Latin way of referring to the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council would be "[i]Sacrae Oecumenicae Synodi Vaticanae Secundae[/i]".

abercius24 Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 I think Vatican I was the most important council. In that council, the Church solidly defined the boundaries and requirements of infallibility, both for the Pope, for the Bishops in Ecumenical Council, and for the Church as a whole. That council maginified the depth we should understand when reading about all other previous councils.
