Robber Councils in Eastern Orthodoxy

Upvote:1

  1. There are Ecumenical councils of which there have been seven and local councils of which there have been many.
  2. Ecumenical councils affirm previous Ecumenical councils as Ecumenical.
  3. Councils have to be accepted by the Body of Christ as a whole to be considered Ecumenical.

As such, it is impossible to say directly at or immediately following an attempt at an ecumenical council whether it will be accepted as such.
