Rebellion is healthy

Resistance is healthy for the collective, and in most cases, doctrine is a direct result of rebellion. As long as the end result was decided by a body whose representatives are in the best position to judge, i.e. an ecumenical council, the collective can be confident of its own conclusions. History is a testament to this. For always, it was heresy that brought forth the councils of Orthodoxy, and members of the Church were expected to accept with confidence the decisions made. There were cases, however, that the councils made a choice out of desperation that caused public outrage, such as that of Florence.
