"Doctor Ecclesiae"...

I suppose this honorific won't be retired any time soon, as it is a conceit of the patriarch of Rome.

Is there any example of "development of doctrine" that isn't a form of theological reasoning? Certainly this is the case with the development of moral teaching. If we set aside the 7 ecumenical councils, what will we find if we look for the premises yielding some of the doctrines put forth by various Latin synods (reckoned to be ecumenical by some Latins) of the second millennium?
