NESTORIUS : UNDERSTANDING INCARNATION<br />
PROF. M. M. NINAN<br />
The Quinisext Council, also called Council in Trullo,(692) addressed matters of discipline<br />
(in amendment to the 5th and 6th councils).<br />
Synod of Hieria(754) condemned veneraation of icons.<br />
The Ecumenical status of these councils are repudiated<br />
7. The Second Council of Nicaea (787) restored the veneration of icons (condemned at the<br />
Council of Hieria, 754) and repudiated iconoclasm.<br />
These seven are accepted by the Roman Catholic as well as Eastern Orthodox Churches.<br />
