Were the Ecumenical Councils a Failure?
I have an interesting thought: did the ecumenical councils fail? Their purpose was to unify the faith, but after the council of Chalcedon ( council #4), there have been a number of Church splits. The Oriental Orthodox, Coptic, Ethiopian Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Roman Catholic Church, just to name a few. This is a failure to maintain the unity, and since the Church fathers couldn't figure out how not to pour gasoline on a bonfire, they never really succeeded in holding onto the fath. That's my thinking on the topic. What's yours?
