First Council of the Lateran

The First Lateran Council (also First Lateran Council ) took place in the spring of 1123, chaired by Pope Kalixts II held in the Lateran in Rome. The number of participants is estimated at 300 to 1,000 people. Callistus himself referred to the Synod as " concilium generale ", but the later Roman tradition among the council as the 9th ecumenical council, although it is known that representatives of the Eastern Church or the imperial envoys were present.

Kallixt had convened the council on June 25, 1122 due to " various important church affairs." The Council confirmed the now closed Concordat of Worms between pope and emperor, and confirming the claim of the Church to independence from secular influence. Inner Ecclesiastical wanted to counter the council of the venality of the ordinations and improve the morals of the clergy.
