From AD 325 to the roughly AD 550 there were over 1,500 church councils (local, regional, and main ecumenical). Ramsay MacMullen's Voting about God in Early Church Councils (2006) focuses on 255 of them.

Majority vote, baby. That's what providence came down to. Majority vote.

Othodoxy. Heh.

I should say more.

One of the first books I read was a history book, The Orthodox Church, by John Meyendorff.

Humble book. Councels are not infalible, nor is their ink permanent. Tradition is the ongoing life of the Holy Spirit in the Church.

But one thing should be said: to call an Eccumenical Council...the ISSUE would have to be one of Christology

Could be called at any time; but has not.
