The Second Council of Lyon

The Second Council of Lyon, held in 1274, was an important gathering of Catholic Church leaders aimed at addressing significant issues of the time. It sought to reunite the Eastern Orthodox Church with the Roman Catholic Church, which had been separated for centuries. The council also focused on reforming the church, promoting moral conduct among clergy, and addressing various theological disputes. Notably, it emphasized the importance of the Eucharist and discussed the need for a crusade to the Holy Land. Although it had some success, the reunification didn't last long, highlighting ongoing divisions in Christianity.
