Given that, there is also evidence to support the proposition that the Easterns found a way to ignore a decision-for-celibacy made at Nicea, c. 328.

Some say the message-runner suffered a fatal accident and his message was lost...

Obviously, Rome has decided to live with the Eastern situation as-is; that's fine.

I stand possibly corrected by the post citing Fr. Conchini (above.)

It may have been the Carthage Council's messenger, not Nicea's.
