The Godcast, Episode 374: Nicaea II, the Goofball Council

As we continue our biweekly miniseries on the "Seventh Ecumenical Council," let's read more source texts. Before addressing the dogmas the council was pushing, let's read letters from Empress Irene, Pope Hadrian, and the session notes where goofball bishops tried to top each other in absurd declarations and horrible reasoning. Totally super serious and infallible guys, just trust Peter and Peter and Peter and the guy sitting on Peter's seat and a bunch of POWs.
