Council of Philippopolis
|
|
The Council of Philippopolis in 343, 344, or 347 was a result of Eastern bishops leaving the Council of Sardica to form their own counter council. In Philippopolis, they excommunicated Pope Julius as well as their rivals attending the synod in Sardica. As a result, the Arian controversy was perpetuated, rather that resolved, as was the original intention of the Co-Augusi Constans and Constantius along with Pope Julius in calling the Council of Sardica.Template:Christianity-stub
