During the second meeting, 10 canons were decreed, mainly dealing with solidifying the power in which the bishops held, such as that priests should not have fellowship with enemies of the aforesaid.[1]
Second meeting[]
The third and final council enacted only 5 laws, which mainly related to mass, including a requirement of repetition of the Kyrie (Lord have mercy) and another which called for regular prayers for the Bishop of Rome.[1]
