A “Roman invention”
I hadn’t heard that before. And yet the Orthodox Churches until 1054 accepted this “Roman invention” and agreed to the decrees issued under Petrine authority in the first seven councils including the Catholic Nicene Creed. Those decrees were mandates, not suggestions, and were infallible on issues of dogma BECAUSE of Petrine authority.

Rubbish! You are making claims that even your church doesn't support. And it is incompatible with Rome's flip flop on the Eighth Council, that you STILL HAVE NOT EXPLAINED despite innumerable requests.

So which is the Eighth Council? The one infallibly confirmed by Rome in AD 880? Or is it the Council of 869-70 that Rome condemned for two hundred years, before reversing course?

Clearly this is a subject you would rather not talk about since it doesn't exactly support Roman claims to infallibility. While we are at it we can add the Quinisext Council (Trullo) that Rome never recognized but the rest of the Church did and still does. All without Rome's precious approval. And this a good four hundred years before Rome formally went into schism. Oh the scandal!
