	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Nestorius and Nestorianism
		Nestorius, since at the end of his life he was obliged to substitute for it a pseudonym.
		Nestorius, Count Irenaeus had become Bishop of Tyre, and he was persecuted by the Cyrillian party, as was Ibas, Bishop of Edessa, who had been a great teacher in that city.
		Constantinople must have seemed like Catholics on account of their hatred to the Monophysites, who were the great enemy in the East.

	Nestorius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nestorius is considered to be the originator of the Christological heresy known as Nestorianism, which emerged when he began preaching against the title Theotokos or Mother of God, beginning to be used of the Virgin Mary.
		The Emperor gave his support to the Patriarch of Constantinople, while Pope Celestine I was in agreement with Cyril.
		At the end, Theodosius II, who had supported Nestorius' appointment, bowed to the influence of his sister Pulcheria to issue an imperial edict (August 3, 435) that exiled Nestorius to a monastery in the Great Oasis of Hibis (al-Khargah), in Egypt, securely within the diocese of Cyril.

	The Lynching of Nestorius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		He was nominated to the See of Constantinople by Theodosius II in 428 A.D. Although the exact date of his birth is not known, his death occurred shortly after the Council of Chalcedon in 451 A.D. Almost as obscure as Nestorius, Cyril was the leading antagonist to Nestorius.
		The condemnation of Nestorius by the Cyrilian council and the counter-condemnation of the oriental council against Cyril was not the end of the matter.
		Nestorius describes that the union of the two natures are in the one prosopon of Jesus Christ, and denies that it should be described as a union of prosopa.

	St. Ann Melkite Catholic Church - History
		Nestorius claimed that Jesus was born of her and that he was merely a "man" in whom the eternal Word of God came to dwell.
		This agreement to have the Antiochian Patriarch appointed from Constantinople did not last long and many subsequent Orthodox patriarchs, of Antioch such as the famous twelfth century canonist Theodore IV (Balsamon), were unable to live under the hostile Latin occupation and remained either in Constantinople or in some other congenial location.
		However, at the beginning of the eighteenth century the Patriarchate of Antioch was disturbed by upheavals and factional feuding and the Roman Church saw an opportunity to enter the area as "missionaries." The fact that the patriarchate was Christian from the time of Christ did not seem to matter to the Roman authorities.

	Third Pro Oriente Syriac Consultation - July 11, 1997
		Similarly, in regard to the person and works of Nestorius, patriarch of Constantinople, we wish that a distinction should be made between the person of Nestorius, his faith and his pastoral concern on the one hand, and the heresy called 'Nestorianism' on the other.

	OCA - Lives of all saints commemorated on this day
		According to the false teaching of Nestorius, Jesus Christ was born as an ordinary man, and afterwards because of His sanctity of life, He was somehow joined to the Godhead.
		With this blasphemous teaching of Nestorius the Enemy of the race of man, the devil, attempted to undermine the Christian Faith on these points: that the Pre-eternal God the Word, the Son of God, actually was incarnate in the flesh of the All-Pure Theotokos.
		The Third Ecumenical Council condemned the heresy of Nestorius and confirmed the Orthodox teaching on these matters: that it is necessary to confess the Lord Jesus Christ as One Person (Hypostasis) in two natures, the Divine and the Human, and that the All-Pure Mother of the Lord be acclaimed as Ever-Virgin and truly the Theotokos.

		During the controversies of the 4th century concerning the divine and human natures of Jesus, the Greek title theotókos (Mother of God) came to be used for Mary in devotional and theological writing.
