qfnol31 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 My spiritual director's comment. He said something about how the Eastern Catholic Churches don't necessarily believe in 21 ecumenical councils, though he wasn't able to go into too much detail.

qfnol31 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Nope, but I figured I'd ask anyways. I'm looking for articles on this and since I am doing my dissertation on something East-West, I like reading about this sort of difference.
