Not Everything Stated At A Council Is The Church's Teaching
St. Robert Bellarmine makes a good point about how the Church's solemn and official declarations must be distinguished from other acts.
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Conciliis, Book 2, Chap. 12: “… in councils the greater part of the acts does not pertain to faith. For neither disputations that are prefaced, nor reasons which are added, nor those things which are brought forth to explain and illustrate pertain to faith, but only the bare decrees themselves, and not all of these, but only those which are proposed as de fide.”
