This was the first worldwide council that was brought together to reinforce the the catholic teachings that was being protested by Arius. It reinstated that their is God is three persons in one. This councils outcome was very important because they made the Nicene creed.
This council maintained all the heresys that were occuring. As a result this coucil stated that God is fully divine, and fully human.
This was the third council that took place in 431 AD and declared that the blessed virgin Mary was the mother of the Son of God. This is also expressed the teachings of how the Holy Spirit is in Jesus and God. As an outcome this made a strong base of what we believe today, that there are three persosns in one and that Mary was the son of God.
This council was called 20 years after the Council of Ephesus. 150 bishops came to this council to define that God is divine and human. The outcome of this council didnt make some people happy like a man name Eutyches disagreed so he was excommunicated.
