The '''Ninth Ecumenical Council''' actually consisted of a series of councils, held in Constantinople in [[1341]], [[1347]] and [[1351]], which exonerated St. [[Gregory Palamas]]'s [[hesychasm|hesychastic]] theology and condemned the rationalistic philosophy of [[Barlaam of Calabria]]. Sometimes also referred to as the '''Fifth Council of Constantinople''', the result of these councils is regarded as the Ninth Ecumenical Council by Orthodox Christians.
