During the reign of Justinian. I've forgotten the exact year. How pray is the relevant to whether or not Origen is a sound source? Again, look at his works yourself, and you will surely confirm the judgement of the Council that he was a heretic.

I'll try and find out the year the Fifth Ecumenical Council occurred. It's interesting because so much seems to have developed after the fact. During his life Origen ran Christian schools, was noted for his faith and wrote at great length. As a result, he offers a lot of insight into what the thinking was in his day (182 - 251 AD).

"I've forgotten the exact year."

I found it (Wikepedia) the Fifth Ecumenical Council was from May 5th to June 2nd 553 AD. It was 300 years after the death of Origen. I'll have to read up on "Origenism".
