Lateran council


The Lateran councils were ecclesiastical councils or synods of the Catholic Church held at Rome in the Lateran Palace next to the Lateran Basilica. Ranking as a papal cathedral, this became a much-favored place of assembly for ecclesiastical councils both in antiquity (313, 487) and more especially during the Middle Ages.

Among these numerous synods the most prominent are five which the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church has classed as ecumenical councils:

A number of non-ecumenical councils were held at the Lateran, one of the most significant was the Lateran Council of 649 against Monothelitism and the Lateran Council of 769 against iconoclasm, inter alia.
