English term or phrase: to trash out
On parle des débuts du christianisme:

As a state religion within the Roman Empire [...] Christianity set about establishing a set of orthodox beliefs and an organzational structure. [...] Church courts were established and a body of canon law, with rules on matters of faith, morals and discipline, trashed out in a succession of councils, which also dealt with matters of belief, such as identifying Christological heresies.

débattre
Explanation:
Il s'agit d'une faute de frappe dans le texte d'origine; "thrashed out" pas "trashed out" (celui-ci ne voulant rien dire dans le contexte).

Notes to answerer
Asker: c'est aussi le sens que j'aurais donné à "trash out", mais cela n'est-il pas contradictoire avec le reste du § ?
