Council of Limoges

The Council of Limoges was a church meeting held in 1031 in Limoges, France, to address issues within the Catholic Church. It aimed to resolve disputes, improve clergy discipline, and address heresies of the time. The council also sought to reinforce church authority and unity across the region. Such councils were common in medieval Europe as a way for church leaders to make important decisions and implement reforms. While not as famous as other major church councils, it played a role in shaping ecclesiastical policies in 11th-century France.
