Lateran council

The Laterankonzilien (also Lateran Synod ) are those five medieval councils of the Catholic Church, which took place 1123-1517 Lateran in Rome. In the census of the Roman Catholic Church, they are counted as ecumenical councils, although the ecumenism of the most Lateran synod is disputed, since practically only the Western Church was represented. Another five Ecumenical Councils are counted between the Fourth and Fifth Lateran Council, which took place in other locations.
