More history needed

[edit]

This article needs a more careful explanation of the complicated history of the so-called Decretum Gelasianum— by an editor who has profited by reading the External link, for a start. --Wetman 30 June 2005 02:25 (UTC)

In the hyperlink below Decretum Gelasianum,

http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/decretum.html what follows the words "III. Item dictum est:" is a forgery. And it can be verified beyond absolutely any doubt by noticing that dates do not coincide. It says that it authorizes to read the documents of the synod of Ephesus, but this was in the year 431, so it is impossible that it can be referred to by a synod that took place in 382. The same happens with the synod of Chalcedon which took place en 451! And many inconsistencies like this can be found. This is mortal to any service of information and it kills the credibility of institutions, so it must be corrected as soon as

possible.

no No action It appears the original poster was claiming that Decretum Gelasianum is a forgery rather than expressing any concerns with our article. Thus this is WP:OR. Daask (talk) 22:32, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not to be received

[edit]

What does “not to be received” mean? 67.86.52.92 (talk) 01:31, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It means that Christians should regard it as Scripture or read it aloud in church, sometimes even that they shouldn't read it at all, though that isn't always part of the meaning. Str1977 (talk) 20:01, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
