Synod of Mâcon

Macon was the site verschiedentlicher Frankish synods in the early Middle Ages.

The Synod of 23 October 585 chaired by King Guntram I told the once voluntary tithe mandatory.

The Synod discussed many questions, but is nowadays mostly known only by subsequent inadvertent or deliberate misinterpretation of an extraneous discussion. This was to explain a single bishop that his assertion about the use of the Latin term homo ( " man ", or " man " ) was wrong. The assertion of the bishop, that women are not to be called homo, was rejected by a variety of quotes from the Bible and other writings ( Gregory of Tours, Historiae VIII 20). It was and still is since the 17th century repeatedly falsely claimed the Synod had discussed whether women have souls.

The synod of 627 recognized the Rule of St. Columban of Luxeuil ( Columbanregel ).
