Father, I just posted an extract from the 6th Ecumenical Council in which NOTHING was said regarding Apokatastasis. NOTHING.
Now with all due respect again, I am busy over here doing my homework on this issue, therefore, I think that it is incumbent upon you to produce a quote similar to the one which I have posted in which a clear and definitive condemnation of Apokatastasis is mentioned in a conciliar canon. Now that's fair, isn't it?
Oh, and as for earlier Fathers of the Church condemning Apokatastasis, there are two issues:
1. Do we have their quotes in the original Greek? If not, and we have Latin translations, then those translations are going to be subject to the errors of the Latin Church in misunderstanding Greek, as did Augustine.
2. Yes, there were actually six schools of theology which existed until Justinian closed them down. Four of them taught Apokatastasis, one taught Annihilation, and one taught eternal damnation, so indeed there would be Fathers of the Church who did oppose reconciliation of all things in Christ. However, knowing this and knowing that there was never any council called in the first five hundred years of the Church to clarify eschatology, I would say that this strongly suggests that it was acceptable to the Church to hold to any one of these three positions. It wasn't until Augustine's pessimistic anthropology and his other anthropological and theological errors that Apokatastasis began to be seriously attacked as the Western Church (aka the Roman Empire) became highly enamoured of what he wrote and made it dogma - without a council to discuss his new ideas!!!!
