Who do you think had created and spreaded the monophysit heresy? Ignorant Egypt monks as well.
This statement is very important though. The problem is very complicated, and any contacts must not hurt our Orthodox faith. Theophilos means "who loves God". This expression may be translated, I think, like this: "your labours which are filled with the love to God".
Yes Monks protect us from other Monks..
But no, Theophilos is not "who loves God" but "God's friend", or "friend of God".
Theos-God...Philos-friend.
I just couldn't tell by the statement if it was reffering to a person named Theophilos, or someone that is a friend of God. I assume it means a friend of God.
