Council of Toledo of 447

The Council of Toledo of 447 was the second Council of Toledo[1] (though the Council of Toledo of 527 is normally called this). It was a national council[2] held against the Priscillianists (a schismatic sect with Gnostic-Manichaean, Sabellian, and Monophysite doctrine[3][4][5]), as called for by Pope Leo I.[6][7] Nineteen bishops participated in the council,[1] which condemned the heresy and the followers of Priscillian and affirmed the earlier First Council of Toledo,[8] on which its Creed is based.[9] It gave a profession of faith against all heretics with 18 anathemas attached against the doctrines of Priscillian.[1] The council is notable for its successful subduing of Priscillianism,[10] expressing a definition of dyophysitism before the Council of Chalcedon,[5] its affirmation of the First Council of Toledo,[8][11] and being the first known western council to include the "filioque" in its creed,[5][6] following in the doctrine from Pope Leo I.[5][7]

Not to be confused with Second Council of Toledo.
