The 8th Imperial Council of the Imperial State Religion of the Holy Roman Empire. |

The original Imperial documents for these proceedings were stolen from the Imperial Archives upon the conquest and destruction of Constantinople in 1096 by Roman Cult Leader Pope Urban II and taken back to Rome. The originals were reputed to still be in existence until the 14th Century. However, it is not known if these documents remain in possession at the Vatican Secret Archives. All subsequent documents published since the 12th Century have contained deliberate inclusions and falsities by the leaders of the Roman (Catholic) Cult and therefore cannot be considered authentic. |

Background |
|
|
The Council declared the previous Council of Nicea in 787 to true and correct and that there be Seven Ecumenical Councils prior to 879, and anathematized those who refused to recognize it (particularly those in France). It also annulled the Councils of Rome and Constantinople which had condemned Patriarch Photius.
|
|
|
In addition, it declared that the Creed, the Symbol of the Faith, must remain exactly as it was handed down by the Holy Fathers. Anyone who dares to make any additions or subtractions (especially in regards to the filioque clause) is anathematized. |
|
| |
The Council could not possibly have made the fraudulent statement as claimed by historians of the Roman Cult that "the Churches of East and West are not to interfere in one another's jurisdiction, that the west is to depose western bishops and the east is to depose eastern bishops, and that these depositions must be recognized by all of the Churches". The reason is simply that the Imperial Church of Christianity and its Patriarch refused to recognize the legitimacy of the Catholic Church as first formed by the Pepin the Short and his brother Carloman in 741 to be complete heresy. |
