"You’re speaking of the First council of Constantinople?"

No, I am referring to the Council of Rome, called in 381 and concluded in 382. Pope Damasus did not attend the First Council of Constantinople making its standing dubious for another 70 years.

Peace be with you

Wikipedia sez:

“According to a document appended to some manuscripts of the so-called Decretum Gelasianum or “Gelasian Decretal” and given separately in others, at this council the authority of the Old and New Testament canon would have been affirmed in a decretal, sometimes referred to as the damasine list. The document was first connected to this council of Rome in 1794, when Fr. Faustino Arevalo (1747–1824), the editor of Coelius Sedulius, expressed his theory that the first three of the five chapters of the Decretum were really the decrees of a Roman council held a century earlier than Gelasius, under Damasus, in 382.

Arevalo’s conclusions were widely accepted until the early 20th century, but further studies led by Ernst von Dobschütz showed this decretal to be a forgery, probably from a scholar of the 6th century.[1]”

So, you’re now using a known forgery to continue to falsely accuse Luther? If I were you, I’d stop digging this hole already.
