  • kinda not the answer to the question. But interesting. I'll save this for later. Commented Jul 30, 2025 at 7:25
  • EO ecclesiology does not require unanimous initial participation for infallibility because the ecumenicity is retrospectively discerned through reception by the pleroma (fullness) of the Church. As St. Irenaeus and later Fathers like St. Vincent of Lérins taught, truth is what has been "believed everywhere, always, by all" (semper, ubique, ab omnibus). The Quinisext's canons were progressively received in the East (e.g., via the Seventh Council) and even partially in the West, demonstrating this organic consensus. Commented Nov 23, 2025 at 22:00
