Councils of Sens
The Councils of Sens were a number of
Archdiocese of Sens.[1]
The first, around 600 or 601, in conformity with the instructions of pope
St. Columbanus refused to attend it because the question of the date of Easter (which was to be decided) was dividing Franks and Bretons
.
A series of councils (most concerned with the privileges of the
Abbey of St. Pierre-le-Vif
) were held in 657, 669 (or 670), 846, 850, 852, 853, 862, 980, 986, 996, 1048, 1071 and 1080.
The council of 1140, according to the letter issued by
Innocent II that the condemnation be confirmed. Martin Deutsch dates this council to 1141 but the Abbé Vacandard attempted to prove by the letter from Peter the Venerable to Héloïse, the "Continuatio Praemonstratensis", the "Continuatio Valcellensis" and the list of the priors of Clairvaux that Baronius' date (1140) is correct. However, Constant Mews has convincingly argued in a revised examination of all the available sources that it did in fact take place in 1141.[2]
The council of 1198 was concerned with the
Bishop of Paris Eudes de Sully
to investigate.
A council was held in 1224 to condemn a book by
Scotus Eriugena
.
Councils were also held in 1216, 1239, 1252, 1253, 1269, 1280, 1315, 1320, 1460 and 1485 (most for disciplinary reasons).
A synod was held in March 1522, called by Francis I of France, to discuss the reformation of the church and of the church taxes, also published in the 1520 book Taxe cancellarie apostolice. It had no concrete outcome.[3]
