The Crisis that summoned Council of Orange II

The apologetic argument: Settled the Pelagian controversy in the West. Condemned both Pelagianism (salvation by merit alone) and Semi-Pelagianism (man initiates, grace completes). Explicitly anathematised double predestination. Confirmed by Pope Boniface II — establishing that grace precedes all human cooperation.
