Cyril had taught that "There is only one physis, since it is the Incarnation, of God the Word." Cyril apparently thought that the <a href="/wiki/Greek_language" title="Greek language">Greek</a> word physis meant approximately what the <a href="/wiki/Latin" title="Latin">Latin</a> word persona (person) means, while most Greek theologians would have interpreted that word to mean natura (nature). The energy and imprudence with which Eutyches asserted his opinions led to his being misunderstood. Thus, many believed that Eutyches was advocating <a href="/wiki/Docetism" title="Docetism">Docetism</a>, a sort of reversal of <a href="/wiki/Arianism" title="Arianism">Arianism</a> – where Arius had denied the <a href="/wiki/Consubstantial" class="mw-redirect" title="Consubstantial">consubstantial</a> divinity of <a href="/wiki/Jesus" title="Jesus">Jesus</a>, Eutyches seemed to be denying that Jesus was fully human.<a href="#cite_note-EB-16">[15]</a> <a href="/wiki/Pope_Leo_I" title="Pope Leo I">Pope Leo I</a> wrote that Eutyches' error seemed to be more from a lack of skill than from malice. Eutyches had been accusing various personages of covert Nestorianism. In November 448, <a href="/wiki/Flavian_of_Constantinople" title="Flavian of Constantinople">Flavian, Bishop of Constantinople</a> held a local synod regarding a point of discipline connected with the province of <a href="/wiki/Sardis" title="Sardis">Sardis</a>. At the end of the session of this synod one of those inculpated, <a href="/wiki/Eusebius_of_Dorylaeum" title="Eusebius of Dorylaeum">Eusebius, Bishop of Dorylaeum</a>, brought a counter charge of heresy against the <a href="/wiki/Archimandrite" title="Archimandrite">archimandrite</a>.<a href="#cite_note-17">[16]</a> Eusebius demanded that Eutyches be removed from office. Flavian preferred that the bishop and the archimandrite sort out their differences, but as his suggestion went unheeded, Eutyches was summoned to clarify his position regarding the nature of Christ. Eventually Eutyches reluctantly appeared, but his position was considered to be theologically unsophisticated, and the synod finding his answers unresponsive condemned and exiled him.<a href="#cite_note-EB-16">[15]</a> Flavian sent a full account to Pope Leo I. Although it had been accidentally delayed, Leo wrote a compendious explanation of the whole doctrine involved, and sent it to Flavian as a formal and authoritative decision of the question.<a href="#cite_note-chapman-18">[17]</a> Eutyches appealed against the decision, labeling Flavian a Nestorian, and received the support of <a href="/wiki/Pope_Dioscorus_I_of_Alexandria" title="Pope Dioscorus I of Alexandria">Pope Dioscorus I of Alexandria</a>. <a href="/wiki/John_Anthony_McGuckin" class="mw-redirect" title="John Anthony McGuckin">John Anthony McGuckin</a> sees an "innate rivalry" between the Sees of Alexandria and Constantinople.<a href="#cite_note-19">[18]</a> Dioscurus, imitating his predecessors in assuming a primacy over Constantinople, held his own synod which annulled the sentence of Flavian, and absolved Eutyches. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Latrocinium_of_Ephesus">Latrocinium of Ephesus</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Council_of_Chalcedon&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Latrocinium of Ephesus" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Second_Council_of_Ephesus" title="Second Council of Ephesus">Second Council of Ephesus</a></div> Through the influence of the court official Chrysaphius, godson of Eutyches, in 449, the competing claims between the Patriarchs of Constantinople and Alexandria led Emperor <a href="/wiki/Theodosius_II" title="Theodosius II">Theodosius II</a> to call a <a href="/wiki/Second_Council_of_Ephesus" title="Second Council of Ephesus">council</a> which was held in <a href="/wiki/Ephesus" title="Ephesus">Ephesus</a> in 449,<a href="#cite_note-20">[19]</a> with Dioscorus presiding. Pope Leo sent four legates to represent him and expressed his regret that the shortness of the notice must prevent the presence of any other bishop of the West.<a href="#cite_note-chapman-18">[17]</a> He provided his legates, one of whom died en route, with a letter addressed to Flavian explaining Rome's position in the controversy. Leo's letter, now known as <a href="/wiki/Leo%27s_Tome" title="Leo's Tome">Leo's Tome</a>, confessed that Christ had two natures, and was not of or from two natures.<a href="#cite_note-SevenCouncils-21">[20]</a> On August 8, 449 the <a href="/wiki/Second_Council_of_Ephesus" title="Second Council of Ephesus">Second Council of Ephesus</a> began its first session. The Acts of the first session of this synod were read at the Council of Chalcedon, 451, and are thus preserved. The remainder of the Acts (the first session being wanting) are known through a Syriac translation by a Miaphysite monk, written in the year 535 and published from a manuscript in the British Museum.<a href="#cite_note-jchap-22">[21]</a> Nonetheless, there are somewhat different interpretations as to what actually transpired. The question before the council by order of the emperor was whether Flavian, in a synod held by him at Constantinople in November, 448, had justly deposed and excommunicated the Archimandrite Eutyches for refusing to admit two natures in Christ. Dioscorus began the council by banning all members of the November 448 synod which had deposed Eutyches from sitting as judges. He then introduced Eutyches who publicly professed that while Christ had two natures before the incarnation, the two natures had merged to form a single nature after the incarnation. Of the 130 assembled bishops, 111 voted to rehabilitate Eutyches. Throughout these proceedings, <a href="/wiki/Pope_Hilarius" title="Pope Hilarius">Hilary</a> (one of the papal legates) repeatedly called for the reading of Leo's Tome, but was ignored. The Eastern Orthodox Church has very different accounts of The Second Council of Ephesus. Pope Dioscorus requested deferring reading of Leo's Tome, as it was not seen as necessary to start with, and could be read later. This was seen as a rebuke to the representatives from the Church of Rome not reading the Tome from the start. Dioscorus then moved to depose Flavian of Constantinople and Eusebius of Dorylaeum on the grounds that they taught the Word had been made flesh and not just assumed flesh from the Virgin and that Christ had two natures. When Flavian and Hilary objected, Dioscorus called for a pro-monophysite mob to enter the church which assaulted Flavian as he clung to the altar. Flavian died three days later. Dioscorus then placed Eusebius of Dorylaeum under arrest and demanded the assembled bishops approve his actions. Fearing the mob, they all did. The papal legates refused to attend the second session at which several more orthodox bishops were deposed, including Ibas of Edessa, Irenaeus of Tyre, Domnus of Antioch, and Theodoret. Dioscorus then had Cyril of Alexandria's Twelve Anathemas declared orthodox<a href="#cite_note-23">[22]</a> with the intent of condemning any confession other than one nature in Christ.

All this changed dramatically with the Emperor's death and the elevation of <a href="/wiki/Marcian" title="Marcian">Marcian</a> to the imperial throne. To resolve the simmering tensions, Marcian announced his intention to hold a new council to set aside the 449 Second Council of Ephesus which was named the "Latrocinium"<a href="#cite_note-26">[25]</a> or "Robber Council" by Pope Leo. <a href="/wiki/Pulcheria" title="Pulcheria">Pulcheria</a>, the sister of Theodosius, may have influenced this decision, or even made the convention of a council a requirement during her negotiations with <a href="/wiki/Aspar" title="Aspar">Aspar</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Magister_militum" title="Magister militum">magister militum</a>, to marry Marcian. Leo had pressed for it to take place in <a href="/wiki/Italy" title="Italy">Italy</a>, but Emperor Marcian instead called for it to convene at Chalcedon, because it was closer to Constantinople, and would thus allow him to respond quickly to any events along the Danube, which was being raided by the Huns under Attila. The council opened on 8 October 451. Marcian had the bishops deposed by Dioscorus returned to their dioceses and had the body of Flavian brought to the capital to be buried honorably. The Emperor asked Leo to preside over the council, but Leo again chose to send legates in his place. This time, Bishops Paschasinus of <a href="/wiki/Lilybaeum" class="mw-redirect" title="Lilybaeum">Lilybaeum</a> and Julian of Cos and two priests Boniface and Basil represented the western church at the council. The council was attended by about 520 bishops or their representatives and was the largest and best-documented of the <a href="/wiki/First_seven_Ecumenical_Councils#The_Councils" class="mw-redirect" title="First seven Ecumenical Councils">first seven ecumenical councils</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Britannica-27">[26]</a> All the sessions were held in the church of <a href="/wiki/St._Euphemia" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Euphemia">St. Euphemia</a>, Martyr, outside the city and directly opposite Constantinople. As to the number of sessions held by the Council of Chalcedon there is a great discrepancy in the various texts of the Acts, also in the ancient historians of the council. Either the respective manuscripts must have been incomplete; or the historians passed over in silence several sessions held for secondary purposes. According to the deacon Rusticus, there were in all sixteen sessions; this division is commonly accepted by scholars, including <a href="/wiki/Karl_Josef_von_Hefele" title="Karl Josef von Hefele">Karl Josef von Hefele</a>, historian of the councils. If all the separate meetings were counted, there would be twenty-one sessions; several of these meetings, however, are considered as supplementary to preceding sessions.<a href="#cite_note-Schaefer-28">[27]</a> Paschasinus refused to give Dioscorus (who had excommunicated Leo leading up to the council) a seat at the council. As a result, he was moved to the nave of the church. Paschasinus further ordered the reinstatement of Theodoret and that he be given a seat, but this move caused such an uproar among the council fathers, that Theodoret also sat in the nave, though he was given a vote in the proceedings, which began with a trial of Dioscorus. Marcian wished to bring proceedings to a speedy end, and asked the council to make a pronouncement on the doctrine of the Incarnation before continuing the trial. The council fathers, however, felt that no new creed was necessary, and that the doctrine had been laid out clearly in Leo's Tome.<a href="#cite_note-SevenCouncils-21">[20]</a> They were also hesitant to write a new creed as the <a href="/wiki/Council_of_Ephesus" title="Council of Ephesus">First Council of Ephesus</a> had forbidden the composition or use of any new creed. Aetius, deacon of Constantinople then read Cyril's letter to Nestorius, and a second letter to John of Antioch. The bishops responded, "We all so believe: Pope Leo thus believes ... we all thus believe. As Cyril so believe we, all of us: eternal be the memory of Cyril: as the epistles of Cyril teach such is our mind, such has been our faith: such is our faith: this is the mind of Archbishop Leo, so he believes, so he has written."<a href="#cite_note-sourcebook-29">[28]</a> Beronician, clerk of the consistory, then read from a book handed him by Aetius, the synodical letter of Leo to Flavian (Leo's Tome). After the reading of the letter, the bishops cried out: "This is the faith of the fathers, this is the faith of the Apostles. So we all believe, thus the orthodox believe. ... Peter has spoken thus through Leo. So taught the Apostles. Piously and truly did Leo teach, so taught Cyril. Everlasting be the memory of Cyril. Leo and Cyril taught the same thing, ... This is the true faith ... This is the faith of the fathers. Why were not these things read at Ephesus?"<a href="#cite_note-sourcebook-29">[28]</a> However, during the reading of Leo's Tome, three passages were challenged as being potentially Nestorian, and their orthodoxy was defended by using the writings of Cyril.<a href="#cite_note-romanity.org-30">[29]</a> Due to such concerns, the council decided to adjourn and appoint a special committee to investigate the orthodoxy of Leo's Tome, judging it by the standard of Cyril's Twelve Chapters, as some of the bishops present raised concerns about their compatibility. This committee was headed by Anatolius, Patriarch of Constantinople, and was given five days to carefully study the matter. The committee unanimously decided in favor of the orthodoxy of Leo, determining that what he said was compatible with the teaching of Cyril. A number of other bishops also entered statements to the effect that they believed that Leo's Tome was not in contradiction with the teaching of Cyril as well.<a href="#cite_note-romanity.org-30">[29]</a> The council continued with Dioscorus' trial, but he refused to appear before the assembly. However, historical accounts from the Eastern Orthodox Church note that Dioscorus was put under solitary arrest. As a result, he was condemned, but by an underwhelming amount (more than half the bishops present for the previous sessions did not attend his condemnation), and all of his decrees were declared null. Empress Pulcheria (Marcian's wife) told Dioscorus "In my father's time, there was a man who was stubborn (referring to <a href="/wiki/St._John_Chrysostom" class="mw-redirect" title="St. John Chrysostom">St. John Chrysostom</a>) and you are aware of what was made of him", to which Dioscorus famously responded "And you may recall that your mother prayed at his tomb, as she was bleeding of sickness". Pulcheria is said to have slapped Dioscorus in the face, breaking some of his teeth, and ordered the guards to confine him, which they did pulling his beard hair. Dioscorus is said to have put these in a box and sent them back to his Church in Alexandria noting "this is the fruit of my faith."<a href="#cite_note-31">[30]</a><a href="#cite_note-32">[31]</a> Marcian responded by exiling Dioscorus. All of the bishops were then asked to sign their assent to the Tome, but a group of thirteen Egyptians refused, saying that they would assent to "the traditional faith". As a result, the Emperor's commissioners decided that a credo would indeed be necessary and presented a text to the fathers. No consensus was reached. Paschasinus threatened to return to Rome to reassemble the council in Italy. Marcian agreed, saying that if a clause were not added to the credo, the bishops would have to relocate. The Committee then sat in the oratory of the most holy martyr Euphemis and afterwards reported a definition of faith which while teaching the same doctrine was not the Tome of Leo.<a href="#cite_note-sourcebook-29">[28]</a> Although it could be reconciled with Cyril's Formula of Reunion, it was not compatible in its wording with Cyril's Twelve Anathemas. In particular, the third anathema reads: "If anyone divides in the one Christ the <a href="/wiki/Hypostasis_(philosophy)" class="mw-redirect" title="Hypostasis (philosophy)">hypostases</a> after the union, joining them only by a conjunction of dignity or authority or power, and not rather by a coming together in a union by nature, let him be anathema." This appeared to some to be incompatible with Leo's definition of two natures <a href="/wiki/Hypostatic_union" title="Hypostatic union">hypostatically joined</a>. However, the council would determine (with the exception of 13 Egyptian bishops) that this was an issue of wording and not of doctrine; a committee of bishops appointed to study the orthodoxy of the Tome using Cyril's letters (which included the twelve anathemas) as their criteria unanimously determined it to be orthodox, and the council, with few exceptions, supported this.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify">clarification needed</a>]<a href="#cite_note-33">[32]</a> It approved the creed of Nicaea (325), the creed of Constantinople (381; subsequently known as the Nicene Creed), two letters of Cyril against Nestorius, which insisted on the unity of divine and human persons in Christ, and the Tome of Pope Leo I confirming two distinct natures in Christ.<a href="#cite_note-Britannica-27">[26]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(4)"><h2 id="Acceptance">Acceptance</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Council_of_Chalcedon&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Acceptance" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-4 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-4"> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Christological_spectrum.svg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Christological_spectrum.svg/400px-Christological_spectrum.svg.png" decoding="async" width="400" height="275" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="1275" data-file-height="875"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 400px;height: 275px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Christological_spectrum.svg/400px-Christological_spectrum.svg.png" data-width="400" data-height="275" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Christological_spectrum.svg/600px-Christological_spectrum.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Christological_spectrum.svg/800px-Christological_spectrum.svg.png 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Spectrum of Christological views in late antiquity</figcaption></figure> The <a href="/wiki/Dogmatic_definition" class="mw-redirect" title="Dogmatic definition">dogmatic definitions</a> of the council are recognized as normative by the <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Orthodox_Church" title="Eastern Orthodox Church">Eastern Orthodox</a> and <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Catholic</a> Churches, as well by certain other <a href="/wiki/Western_Christianity" title="Western Christianity">Western Churches</a>; also, most <a href="/wiki/Protestantism" title="Protestantism">Protestants</a> agree that the council's teachings regarding the <a href="/wiki/Trinity" title="Trinity">Trinity</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Incarnation#Christianity" title="Incarnation">Incarnation</a> are orthodox doctrine which must be adhered to.

We are confident you will shed upon the Church of Constantinople a ray of that Apostolic splendor which you possess, for you have ever cherished this church, and you are not at all niggardly in imparting your riches to your children. ... Vouchsafe then, most Holy and most Blessed Father, to accept what we have done in your name, and in a friendly spirit (hos oikeia te kai phila). For your legates have made a violent stand against it, desiring, no doubt, that this good deed should proceed, in the first instance, from your provident hand. But we, wishing to gratify the pious Christian emperors, and the illustrious Senate, and the capital of the empire, have judged that an Ecumenical Council was the fittest occasion for effecting this measure. Hence we have made bold to confirm the privileges of the aforementioned city (tharresantes ekurosamen) as if your holiness had taken the initiative, for we know how tenderly you love your children, and we feel that in honoring the child we have honored its parent. ... We have informed you of everything with a view of proving our sincerity, and of obtaining for our labors your confirmation and consent."<a href="#cite_note-48">[45]</a> Following Leo's rejection of the canon, Bishop Anatolius of Constantinople conceded, "Even so, the whole force of confirmation of the acts was reserved for the authority of Your Blessedness. Therefore, let Your Holiness know for certain that I did nothing to further the matter, knowing always that I held myself bound to avoid the lusts of pride and covetousness."<a href="#cite_note-49">[46]</a> However, the Canon has since been viewed as valid by the Eastern Orthodox Church.<a href="#cite_note-50">[47]</a> According to some ancient Greek collections, canons 29 and 30 are attributed to the council: canon 29, which states that an unworthy bishop cannot be demoted but can be removed, is an extract from the minutes of the 19th session; canon 30, which grants the Egyptians time to consider their rejection of Leo's Tome, is an extract from the minutes of the fourth session.<a href="#cite_note-51">[48]</a> In all likelihood an official record of the proceedings was made either during the council itself or shortly afterwards. The assembled bishops informed the pope that a copy of all the "Acta" would be transmitted to him; in March 453, Pope Leo commissioned Julian of Cos, then at Constantinople, to make a collection of all the Acts and translate them into Latin. Most of the documents, chiefly the minutes of the sessions, were written in Greek; others, e.g. the imperial letters, were issued in both languages; others, again, e.g. the papal letters, were written in Latin. Eventually nearly all of them were translated into both languages.<a href="#cite_note-:0-45">[42]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(5)"><h2 id="The_status_of_the_sees_of_Constantinople_and_Jerusalem">The status of the sees of Constantinople and Jerusalem</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Council_of_Chalcedon&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: The status of the sees of Constantinople and Jerusalem" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-5 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-5"> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_status_of_Jerusalem">The status of Jerusalem</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Council_of_Chalcedon&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: The status of Jerusalem" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Jerusalem_in_Christianity" title="Jerusalem in Christianity">Jerusalem in Christianity</a></div> The metropolitan of Jerusalem was given independence from the <a href="/wiki/Patriarch_of_Antioch" title="Patriarch of Antioch">metropolitan of Antioch</a> and from any other higher-ranking bishop, given what is now known as <a href="/wiki/Autocephaly" title="Autocephaly">autocephaly</a>, in the council's seventh session whose "Decree on the Jurisdiction of Jerusalem and Antioch" contains: "the bishop of Jerusalem, or rather the most holy Church which is under him, shall have under his own power the three Palestines".<a href="#cite_note-SevenCouncils-21">[20]</a> This led to Jerusalem becoming a <a href="/wiki/Patriarch" title="Patriarch">patriarchate</a>, one of the five patriarchates known as the <a href="/wiki/Pentarchy" title="Pentarchy">pentarchy</a>, when the title of patriarch was created in 531 by <a href="/wiki/Justinian" class="mw-redirect" title="Justinian">Justinian</a>.<a href="#cite_note-52">[49]</a> The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, s.v. patriarch (ecclesiastical), also calls it "a title dating from the 6th century, for the bishops of the five great sees of Christendom".

At the time, the See of Constantinople was not yet of ecclesiastical prominence, but its proximity to the Imperial court gave rise to its importance. The Council of Constantinople in 381 modified the situation somewhat by placing Constantinople second in honor, above Alexandria and Antioch, stating in Canon III, that "the bishop of Constantinople ... shall have the prerogative of honor after the bishop of Rome; because Constantinople is New Rome". In the early 5th century, this status was challenged by the bishops of Alexandria, but the Council of Chalcedon confirmed in Canon XXVIII: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">For the Fathers rightly granted privileges to the throne of old Rome, because it was the royal city. And the One Hundred and Fifty most religious Bishops, actuated by the same consideration, gave equal privileges (ἴσα πρεσβεῖα) to the most holy throne of New Rome, justly judging that the city which is honoured with the Sovereignty and the Senate and enjoys equal privileges with the old imperial Rome, should in ecclesiastical matters also be magnified as she is, and rank next after her.<a href="#cite_note-SevenCouncils-21">[20]</a></blockquote> In making their case, the council fathers argued that tradition had accorded "honor" to the see of older Rome because it was the first imperial city. Accordingly, "moved by the same purposes" the fathers "apportioned equal prerogatives to the most holy see of new Rome" because "the city which is honored by the imperial power and senate and enjoying privileges equaling older imperial Rome should also be elevated to her level in ecclesiastical affairs and take second place after her".<a href="#cite_note-55">[52]</a> The framework for allocating ecclesiastical authority advocated by the council fathers mirrored the allocation of imperial authority in the later period of the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Empire" title="Roman Empire">Roman Empire</a>. The Eastern position could be characterized as being political in nature, as opposed to a doctrinal view. In practice, all Christians East and West addressed the papacy as the See of Peter and Paul or the Apostolic See rather than the See of the Imperial Capital. Rome understands this to indicate that its precedence has always come from its direct lineage from the apostles Peter and Paul rather than its association with Imperial authority.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify"><span title="The debate was not over Roman primacy, or the grounds for it, for over primacy in the East: Constantinople was now given primacy over Alexandria and Antioch, and this could only be done on the basis of its status as the imperial capital.

However, fearing that withholding Rome's approval would be interpreted as a rejection of the entire council, in 453 the pope confirmed the council's canons while declaring the 28th null and void.
