Council of Vasiligrad (Principia Moderni IV Map Game)

The Council of Vasiligrad was an Ecumenical Council held in the city of Vasiligrad, the first since its name changed from Constantinople. The Council was convoked by Pope Innocent IX in 1786, pursuant to the decree of the Council of Alexandria that an Ecumenical Council be held every twenty years. It was attended by representatives of the Latin, Orthodox, Northern Rite, and Eastern (Mongolian) churches. Representatives of the Coptic Church and the Chinese Church were invited to attend.

Discussion

 * Papal Delegation: The Papal Legate to the Council presents the proposed agenda, drawn up by the Standing Committee on Council Preparations. The agenda has two items:
 * The unification of the Coptic and Chinese churches with the universal Church. Each would be required to accept the decrees and canons of all the Ecumenical Councils. Any theological differences can be discussed.
 * Amending the current rule of the Council of Alexandria, so that Ecumenical Councils need take place only every fifty years, rather than every twenty.
