  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

According to Catholicism, what must one believe and do to be saved?

Who was it in Constantinople II? Did the Council Fathers follow Vigilius' leadership in orthodoxy?
I don't believe attended the Council, but I could be wrong.

The East that anathematized a pope for monothelitism owes its Christology to Rome? That's an... unusual way to read the history.
Particularly because of Chalcedon and the acceptance of Leo's formula over Cyril's.

And to a lesser degree because of Pope Damasus.

But both were very important.

You reminded me of that meme about arguing on the Internet being like competing in the Special Olympics.
Thank you for your own participation in the Special Olympics.
Accept that this originated with @concretecamper 's strawman and move on.
I have long ago put that poster on 'ignore'. So I have no idea what that poster wrote or did not write.

OK then. Conversation over.
It’s hard to have a conversation when you only reply to one person without even reading the context of what the conversation is about. :doh:

Conversation over. I'll decide later whether I think I need to put you on 'ignore' too.

I'm guessing that Jesus doesn't require one to have a PHD in theology in order to pass the Heaven Entrance Exam. ;)
Amen! ;)

It did. Leo's tome was judged by the standard set by Cyril.

They were loyal to Dioscorus.

Leo followed Cyril, so we all follow Cyril.

Indeed; in all fairness to the Oriental Orthodox they were also faithful to St. Cyril; the tragedy at Chalcedon was a needless schism between two groups neither of which was Nestorian.

There are three apparent villains: Eutyches, who had lied to Pope Dioscorus of Alexandria, and had been anathematized by him by the time of Chalcedon, but his lie caused the disaster that was the Second Council of Ephesus, Ibas, a crypto-Nestorian who continued to sow division, and finally, Nestorius himself, who in exile, in his self-serving Bazaar of Heraclides, claimed that Chalcedon implemented precisely what he had been trying to implement, which assuming Nestorius was aware of what Chalcedon actually said, could only be regarded know is a false and intentionally divisive statement, since Chalcedon unlike Nestorius upheld the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Theotokos, whereas the entire Christological rabbit hole of Nestorianism was embarked upon due to Nestorius being a crypto-antidicomarian, opposed to the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary and scandalized by the phrase “Theotokos,” thus speculative theology by Theodore of Mopsuedtia was used heresiogenically in order to provide a Christological rationale for rejecting theotokos, through the hypostatic and indeed prosoponic division of the divinity and humanity of Christ.

Thus attempts by misguided Roman Catholics out of touch with the process of ecumenical reconciliation to claim Archbishop Leo (he was not styled Pope - this title was only used by the bishops of Antioch and would remain as such until the mid 6th century) acted with supposed Papal authority are historically incorrect, anachronistic, ignorant of the events that actually transpired at the council, and also rather blasse considering the tragedy of the EO-OO schism, something we are just now beginning to close the books on thanks to the efforts of the likes of Metropolitan Kallistos Ware, memory eternal, Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev, and other Orthodox bishops of IOTA: What is IOTA?

Fact don't care about feelings. Call me misguided, and ignorant, I've been called worse. I'll keep posting facts and let people decide for themselves. Hopefully they do their own research.

Respectfully, because I don’t think you’ve realized this, what you posted concerning the Council of Chalcedon was an anachronistic interpretation, not a factual description.

I wouldn't expect you to think any different. But there are plenty of resources available if anyone is interested in researching. Truth doesn't change, it is timeless.
