Council of Frankfurt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Council of Frankfurt in 794 was called by Charlemagne. This church council condemned the Adoptionist heresy and revoked decrees regarding the holy icons which were established in 787 at the Second Council of Nicaea. It also condemned the persecution of alleged witches and wizards, called the belief in witchcraft superstitious, and ordered the death penalty for those who presume to burn witches.[1]
