* The decision of the Council (also Synod) of Constantinople in 453, confirmed by the [[Fifth Ecumenical Council]]'s anathemas in 553: ''If anyone asserts the fabulous pre-existence of souls, and shall assert the monstrous restoration which follows from it:  let him be anathema.'' (First anathema against Origen) ''If anyone shall say that all reasonable beings will one day be united in one, when the hypostases as well as the numbers and the bodies shall have disappeared, and that the knowledge of the world to come will carry with it the ruin of the worlds, and the rejection of bodies as also the abolition of [all] names, and that there shall be finally an identity of the γνῶσις and of the hypostasis; moreover, that in this pretended apocatastasis, spirits only will continue to exist, as it was in the feigned pre-existence: let him be anathema.'' (Fourteenth anathema against Origen){{ref|1}}

* Prior to the Fifth Ecumenical Council, Origin's doctrine of apocatastasis has had been condemned in three local councils in the fifth century: an Alexandrian council, under the presidency of Patriarch Pheofilos, a Cyprian council, under presidency of St. Epifanios of Cyprus, and a Roman council, under the presidency of Pope Anastasius I. Local councils have local authority within specified geographical limits.
