The Council of Ariminum, also known after the city's modern name as the Council of Rimini, was an early Christian church synod. In 358, the Roman Emperor Constantius II requested two councils, one of the western bishops at Ariminum and one of the eastern bishops (planned for Nicomedia but actually held at Seleucia Isauria) to resolve the Arian controversy over the nature of the divinity of Jesus Christ, which divided the 4th-century church.〔Philostorgius, in Photius, ''Epitome of the Ecclesiastical History of Philostorgius'', book 4, chapter 10.〕 In July 359, the western council (of about 300〔Philostorgius, in Photius, ''Epitome of the Ecclesiastical History of Philostorgius'', book 4, chapter 10.〕 or over 400 bishops) met. Ursacius of Singidunum and Valens of Mursa soon proposed a new creed, drafted at the Council of Sirmium of 359 but not presented there, holding that the Son was like the Father "according to the scriptures," and avoiding the controversial terms "same substance" and "similar substance."〔Socrates Scholasticus, ''Church History'', book 2, chapter 37.〕 Others favored the creed of Nicaea.〔Socrates Scholasticus, ''Church History'', book 2, chapter 37.〕 The opponents of Sirmium wrote a letter to the emperor Constantius, praising Nicaea and condemning any reconsideration of it, before many of them left the council. The supporters of Sirmium then issued the new creed and sent it through Italy.〔Socrates Scholasticus, ''Church History'', book 2, chapter 37.〕 The council was considered a defeat for trinitarianism, and Saint Jerome wrote: "The whole world groaned, and was astonished to find itself Arian."〔Jerome, Dialogue Against the Luciferians, 19.〕 Pope Liberius of Rome rejected the new creed, prompting Phaebadius of Agen and Servatus of Tongeren to withdraw their support from the homoian.() The supporters of Sirmium deposed Liberius and reappointed Felix of Rome in his place.〔Socrates Scholasticus, ''Church History'', book 2, chapter 37.〕 Two councils at Nike (southeast of Adrianople) and Constantinople followed.〔Socrates Scholasticus, ''Church History'', book 2, chapter 37.〕 Those favoring the Creed drafted at Sirmium included: * Ursacius of Singidunum〔Socrates Scholasticus, ''Church History'', book 2, chapter 37.〕 * Valens of Mursa〔Socrates Scholasticus, ''Church History'', book 2, chapter 37.〕 * Germinius of Sirmium〔Socrates Scholasticus, ''Church History'', book 2, chapter 37.〕 * Auxentius of Milan〔Socrates Scholasticus, ''Church History'', book 2, chapter 37.〕 * Demophilus of Beroe〔Socrates Scholasticus, ''Church History'', book 2, chapter 37.〕 * Gaius〔Socrates Scholasticus, ''Church History'', book 2, chapter 37.〕 Those favoring the Creed of Nicaea included: * Phaebadius of Agen (died c. 392) * Servatus of Tongeren (died May 13, 384) * Gaudentius of Ariminum (died October 14, 360) * Mercurialis of Forlì * Restitutus of Carthage ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Council of Ariminum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
