Resurrexi Posted June 30, 2007 Share 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.

Laudate_Dominum Posted June 30, 2007 Share 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenchild17 Posted June 30, 2007 Share 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 Share 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[/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]".
