*Victor 1 (190-202), threatened to excommunicate the Eastern Churches for celebrating Easter on the 14th of Nisan. Polycrates, Bishop of Ephesus, replied that he was not afraid of Victors threats, and asserted his independent authority. Iranaeus, of Lyons, though a Western Bishop, and in sympathy with the Western viewpoint on Easter Observance, that is, the week-day rather than the month-day, rebuked Victor for trying to Dictate to Eastern Churches."[https://mannastore5776.wordpress.com/2015/09/14/halleys-handbook-church-history/]

====The church is not Christ====
Throughout the scripture, and particularly in the New Testament and the parables of Jesus, we have the image of the great feast, or the great wedding feast. Christ will return for his bride, the church. Te bride is instructed to get herself ready.
The church itself is not Christ, does not speak for Christ, does not have the authority of Christ, neither has the authority to change the words of Christ nor the meaning of the words of Christ.
The church does give salvation. Only God grants salvation, by grace. A doctrine that teaches that the church grants salvation or is the arbiter who receives God's salvation and who is excluded, is idolatrous and heretical. The church and/or Magisterium is not God.
