Anse, Councils of
Several medieval councils were held in this French town (near Lyons). That of 994 decreed, among other disciplinary measures, abstinence from servile labour after three oclock (None) on Saturday, i.e. the observance of the vigil of Sunday. The council of 1025 was held for the purpose of settling a conflict between the monks of Cluny and the Bishop of Mâcon, who complained that, though their monastery was situated in his diocese, the monks had obtained ordination from the Archbishop of Vienne. St. Odilon of Cluny was present and exhibited a papal privilege exempting his monastery from the episcopal jurisdiction of Mâcon. But the fathers of the council caused to be read the ancient canons ordaining that in every country the abbots and monks should be subject to their own bishop, and declared null a privilege contrary to the canons. The Archbishop of Vienne was required to apologize to the Bishop of Mâcon. In 1076 a council was held for the purpose of furthering the ecclesiastical reforms of St. Gregory VII. At the council of 1100, Hugues, Archbishop of Lyons, demanded from the assembled fathers, among whom was St. Anselm of Canterbury, a subsidy for the expenses of the journey that, with the Pope’s permission, he was about to make to Jerusalem. In 1112 the Catholic Faith and investitures were the subjects of conciliar decrees.

Anse, Councils Of
(Conciliunm Ansanum or Ansense). These councils were held in Anse, a small town of France, on the Saone, in the diocese of Lyons.
I. Held in A.D. 990, concerning the privileges of the Abbey of Cluny, which were confirmed. Several canons were published, of which nine only remain. See Martene, Thesaur. Anec. tom. 4.
II. Held in 994, on discipline. See Mansi, Concil. tom. 1.
III. Held in 1025. At this council, Gaustin de Macon complained against Bouchard, archbishop of Vienne, for having ordained certain monks of Cluny, although that monastery was in the diocese of Macon. Odiloni the abbot exhibited the pope’s privilege exempting the monks of Cluny from the jurisdiction of their own bishop. The council, however, declared the privilege to be null and void, being contrary to the canons. See Labbe, Concil. 9, 859.
