It was called by Emperor Basil I the Macedonian and Pope Adrian II. It condemned Photius and deposed him as patriarch and reinstated his predecessor Ignatius. It also ranked Constantinople before the other three Eastern patriarchates of Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem and anathematized the teaching, supposedly held by Photius, that there are two human souls, one spiritual and immortal, one earthly and mortal.

The council also condemned any alteration whatsoever to the original Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, thereby condemning the addition of the Filioque clause to the creed as heretical — a view strongly espoused by Photius in his polemics against Rome. Late on, Roman Catholics came to separate the two issues and insist on the theological orthodoxy of the clause. According to Philip Schaff, "To the Greek acts was afterwards added a (pretended) letter of Pope John VIII to Photius, declaring the Filioque to be an addition which is rejected by the church of Rome, and a blasphemy which must be abolished calmly and by, degrees."[1] Icon depicting the Holy Fathers of the First Council of Nicaea holding the Nicene Creed. ...

Whether and how far the council was confirmed by Pope John VIII is also a matter of dispute: The council was held in the presence of papal legates, who approved of the proceedings, Roman Catholic historian Francis Dvornik argues that Pope accepted the acts of the council and annulled those of the Council of 869-870. Other Catholic historians, such as Warren Carroll, dispute this view, arguing that the pope rejected the council. Philipp Schaff opines that the Pope, deceived by his legates about the actual proceedings, first applauded the Emperor but later denounced the council.[1] A papal Legate, from the Decretals of Boniface VIII (1294 to 1303). ...
In any case, the Pope de facto accepted the reinstatement of Photius as Patriarch. However later, in the wake of further conflicts between East and West in the 11th century, the council was repudiated.
Though this council has been hailed by some Orthodox Christians as the "Eighth Ecumenical Council" it has not been universally accepted as such, though it is held in high esteem at least as a local council and is referred to as the First-and-Second Council by Byzantine canonists John Zonaras, Theodore Balsamon, Matthew Blastaris and others.

The status of Photius as a Saint Photius is now considered a saint by the Eastern Orthodox Church; in part for having refused to acquiesce to the decision of this council and what the Eastern Orthodox consider to have been overweening monarchical aspirations on the part of Rome's patriarch. In traditional Christian iconography, Saints are often depicted as having halos. ...

Photius is also considered a saint by Eastern Catholics, who praise Photius' personal life as virtuous and admire his remarkable talents, even genius, and the wide range of his intellectual aptitudes. Eastern Orthodox Christians argue that there is a logical contradiction between accepting a person as a saint and at the same time accepting a council that anathematized him. The Eastern Catholic Churches are autonomous particular Churches in full communion with the Pope of Rome. ...
