5th Ecumenical Council

The Fifth Ecumenical Council, held in 553 AD in Constantinople, aimed to clarify Christian doctrine and resolve disputes from earlier controversies. It primarily addressed the teachings of Origen and the Christological debates surrounding the nature of Christ, emphasizing that Jesus is fully divine and fully human. The council confirmed certain theological points and condemned teachings considered heretical. Its decisions helped unify church beliefs and strengthened orthodox Christian doctrine, playing a key role in shaping the theology and unity of the early Christian church.
