A Roman Council Celebrated Under Stephen.

From the Synodal Roll.

A Divine and sacred provincial synod, gathered together at Rome by Stephen, the blessed martyr and father¹ which excommunicated those who in an African synod had, without reason, conceded that they who came to the Catholic Church from any heresy should be re-baptized.²
