Council of Rome (382)

382 Christian synod

The Council of Rome of 382 is a Christian synod convened in Rome in the year 382 AD, under the leadership of Pope Damasus I, being, at the time, the bishop of Rome. It is widely held that this council initially set a Biblical canon in a decree which is identical to the list of the Council of Trent, though the historicity of this notion has been brought into question.
