	Coptic Christianity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Coptic Church regarded that the ousting of Pope Dioscorus of Alexandria in the council of Chalcedon was in part due to the rivalry between the Bishops of Alexandria and Rome.
		The current Coptic Orthodox Pope of Alexandria and the Patriarch of the Holy See of Saint Mark is Pope Shenouda III (his title should not be confused with that of the Roman Catholic Pope).

	Encyclopedia Coptica: The Christian Coptic Orthodox Church Of Egypt
		The scope of the school of Alexandria was not limited to theological subjects, because science, mathematics and the humanities were also taught there: The question and answer method of commentary began there, and 15 centuries before Braille, wood-carving techniques were in use there by blind scholars to read and write.
		Monasticism was born in Egypt and was instrumental in the formation of the Coptic Church's character of submission and humbleness, thanks to the teachings and writings of the Great Fathers of Egypt's Deserts.
		Saint Cyril, Pope of Alexandria, was the head of the Ecumenical Council which was held in Ephesus in the year 430 A.D. It was said that the bishops of the Church of Alexandria did nothing but spend all their time in meetings.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Nestorius and Nestorianism
		Meanwhile Nestorius was being attacked by his own clergy and simultaneously by St. Cyril, Patriarch of Alexandria, who first denounced him, though without giving a name, in an epistle to all the monks of Egypt, then remonstrated with him personally by letter, and finally wrote to the pope.
		These bishops, together with Theodoret and Domnus, the nephew and successor of John of Antioch, were deposed by Dioscorus of Alexandria in the Robber Council of Ephesus (449).
		Ibas was full of Antiochene theology, but in his famous letter to Maris the Persian he disapproves of Nestorius as well as of Cyril, and at the Council of Chalcedon he was willing to cry a thousand anathemas to Nestorius.

	Saint Patrick's Church: Saints of February 18
		Chrysaphius persuaded Theodosius to convene a council at Ephesus (the 'Robber Synod') in 449.
		Dioscorus of Alexandria presided, and in meetings characterized by violence and intimidation, the emperor's soldiers refused to allow Leo's letter to be read.
		Eusebius and Flavian were deposed and Dioscorus was declared patriarch.

	LT29 - Papal Authority in the First Ecumenical Councils / A Dubious Translation of Ecclesia Dei
		They may be taken as fairly typical statements of Roman Catholic belief on the one hand, and the viewpoint of many who are sceptical of the traditional Catholic interpretation of history on the other.
		Cyril of Alexandria appeals to Celestine of Rome to deal with Nestorius in Constantinople; and Celestine replies, delegating Cyril to excommunicate Nestorius if he fails to recant within ten days, equating his own judgment with "the divine sentence of our Christ," and stating that he has written in similar terms to four other major Bishops.
		Dioscorus of Alexandria was blamed by the Council of Chalcedon for presiding over the "Robber Council" in the presence of papal legates, at the express command of the Emperor.

	Holy Trinity
		The situation continued to deteriorate, with the pope demanding the convocation of a new council and the emperor refusing to budge, all the while appointing bishops in agreement with Dioscorus.
		All this changed dramatically with the death of Theodosius II and the elevation of Marcian to the imperial throne, for Marcian was a defender of the doctrine of Flavian and Leo.
		It appears Pope Leo I was unaware of the confession made to Pope Dioscorus of Alexandria.

	Popes of Rome who are Orthodox Saints
		Archbishop St. Cyril of Alexandria was entrusted with Nestorius' recantation at the Council of Ephesus (now Seljuk, Tur.) in 431.
		Of all these you were the chief, as head to members, showing your goodwill in matters of organization....And, like the stranger of wild beasts, he [condemned Patriarch of Alexandria Dioscorus] fell upon the vine which he found in the finest condition, uprooted it, and planted that which had been cast out as unfruitful.
		He cut off those who acted like true shepherds, and he placed over the flocks those who had shown themselves to be wolves.
