Summary

As well as passing on or reaffirming decisions made at Nicaea, the apostolic see around 400 CE was dealing with issues the council had not addressed about who was entitled to administer a given ritual and when it was appropriate to do so. Questions arose notably about the ritual called consignatio, baptism, fast days in the week, a death ritual, and about marriage, adultery, and the Eucharist. These were problems without self-evident answers, and finding solutions might involve considerations both of principle and practicality.
