Nestorian Theology Nestorius' supporters, the Oriental bishops led by John, Patriarch of Antioch, were delayed on their way to the council; Nestorius himself refused to attend the council until John's party had arrived. From his exile, Nestorius condemned the heresy falsely attributed to him, that the human Jesus and the divine Christ were two different persons, and asserted that Jesus Christ was one Lord, indivisible in his person (prosopon), but containing two natures (ousiai), the divine and the human. The Nestorian bishops, in a statement drawn up in 612, stated: "There is a wonderful connection and indissoluble union between [Christ's] human nature, which was assumed, and God the Word who assumed it, a union existing from the first moment of conception. www.nestorian.org /nestorian_theology.html   (1768 words)

The Great Heresies Heresy is an emotionally loaded term that is often misused. Finally, the doubt or denial involved in heresy must concern a matter that has been revealed by God and solemnly defined by the Church (for example, the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, the sacrifice of the Mass, the pope’s infallibility, or the Immaculate Conception and Assumption of Mary). This heresy arose when a group of people known as iconoclasts (literally, "icon smashers") appeared, who claimed that it was sinful to make pictures and statues of Christ and the saints, despite the fact that in the Bible, God had commanded the making of religious statues (Ex. www.catholic.com /library/Great_Heresies.asp   (1817 words)

Catholicate of the East Meanwhile some in the Catholicate of Persia found it more convenient to adopt the Nestorian Christology which was earlier officially rejected by the universal Christian councils for its remarks on the Mother of God; thus they tried to convince the Persian rulers that they distance themselves from the mother Church and the Roman (Byzantine) Empire. Nestorian Church which is also called the 'Church of the East' and more recently the 'Assyrian Church', is one of the most important sections of the ancient Christian Congregations in Persia. The office of the ‘Maphrian of the East’ was founded to take care of the Syrian Orthodox faithful, living in the dioceses of the ancient territory of the Persian Sassanid Empire and who were under the Patriarchate of Antioch. catholicose.org /PauloseII/Catholicate.htm   (3327 words)

Questions and Answers (This Rock: March 2006) At this Council, a heresy that had disturbed the Eastern half of the Church for half a century was at last clearly condemned. The heresy had started as an attempt by Sergius, patriarch of Constantinople, to reconcile to the Church the Monophysites (one nature-ites), who rejected the definition of the Council of Chalcedon (in 452) that in Christ are two natures, divine and human, united in one Person. By a complicated misunderstanding, the Monophysites regarded this definition as an approval of the earlier Nestorian heresy (condemned at the Council of Ephesus in 431), which saw our Lord as two persons, one God and one man. Monophysites considered that Catholics (who believed and believe in two natures in one Person) were really Nestorian heretics. www.catholic.com /thisrock/2006/0603clas.asp   (1593 words)
