Council of Constantinople II

The Council of Constantinople II, held in 553 AD, was a gathering of Christian bishops to resolve disputes over theological teachings, especially concerning the nature of Christ and the relationship between divine and human aspects. It reaffirmed earlier creeds, condemned certain writings seen as heretical, and aimed to promote unity within the Christian church. This council played a significant role in defining orthodox beliefs and defending traditional Christian doctrine against various alternative views that threatened church cohesion.
