Third Synod 585
The synod of October 23, 585 , chaired by King Guntram I , declared the once voluntary church tithe to be mandatory.
The Synod discussed many questions, but is now mostly only known from later, intentional or unintentional misinterpretation of a secondary discussion. This was about explaining to an individual bishop that his claim about the use of the Latin term homo (in classical Latin "man", later also "man") was wrong. The bishop's assertion that women should not be called homosexual was rejected by numerous quotations from the Bible and other writings ( Gregory of Tours , Historiae VIII 20). It has been and continues to be falsely claimed since the 17th century that the Synod discussed whether women also have a soul.
