44. What is an ecumenical council?
An ecumenical council is a conference of the bishops of the whole Christian Church convened to discuss and settle matters of Church doctrine and practice. All the bishops are invited, although all are not required to attend. The Pope need not attend, but he must ratify any definitions which come from the Council.
