when has the church ‘accepted it’?

since when are laity able to make pronoucements on that canonicity of the statements of individual Bishops?

btw the councils took many years to reject ALL the early heresies.

Since Day 1. Without the AXIOS of the Laos tou Theou, demonstrated by a “living out” of the proclaimed dogma, no proclaimed “dogma” is dogma. The dogmas and False Union of the Council of Florence is an example of this.
