The Crisis that summoned Council of Constantinople II

The apologetic argument: Condemned the Three Chapters (writings of Theodore of Mopsuestia, Theodoret of Cyrrhus, and Ibas of Edessa) to reconcile the Monophysites to Chalcedon. Pope Vigilius initially resisted but ultimately confirmed the council, demonstrating that papal confirmation can follow rather than precede a council's work.
