The Papacy and Ecumenical Councils -- Elijah Yasi

Can a Pope act in complete opposition to a council attended by all the bishops?

Can the pope decree with just his vote in the name of the council even if every single bishop disagrees with him?

Elijah Yasi answers questions about the papacy and its relation to Ecumenical Councils.

Thanks for this Elijah. Your content is always interesting and enlightening. I especially appreciate the distinction you made regarding the necessity of conciliar/church consent versus its sufficiency for infallibility.

Absolutely love your channel Elijah! You are excellent! Thank you so very much for your defense of the Church established by Jesus Christ! Again, I apologize to you so very much about an earlier video, as you were absolutely correct, I apologize, as the masculine "He shall crush" in Genesis, is the oldest translation! I thought it "she shall crush" was also the correct translation, so very sorry! I was in the wrong and i am so sorry!!

To play devil's advocate, technically the Pope can depose bishops and even patriarchs, yes? A cynic might say the Pope can always stack the deck in his favor when it comes to councils.
