84. A History of the General Councils - AD 325 through AD 1870 - Mgr. Philip Hughes
- www.christusrex.org
- " 4 And it is this that has survived in the popular memory as the great glory of the council--its acceptance, that is to say, of a statement of the true belief about the Incarnation on the authority of the bishop who, so they believe, is Peter's successor and heir. ...
- " He speedily had the city aflame, and the empress-dowager heading a plot to bar out the bishop--not yet returned- -and set another in his place: a successful plot, for the bishop fled before the insurrection. ... It took the whole force of an army to get the lawful bishop of Jerusalem back into his see. ...
- Egypt received the news of Chalcedon's deposition of Dioscoros--and its new chief bishop, Proterius--no less badly. ... The bishop was murdered, and his naked, mutilated corpse dragged through the streets in triumph. ...
- It was after Leo's death (474) that the real trouble began, not the mere matter of rioting mobs and fanatical clerics, but of the state proposing its own official solution of the great dilemma, to which every bishop had to set his signature. ... " 6 Every bishop was ordered to set his signature to the letter, as testimony of submission. ...

- The problem had not, in fact, diminished as the years went by, and it was a practical problem; for example, every time a new bishop was appointed in Egypt or Syria the chances were that there would be a miniature civil war for some days or weeks or for longer still. Zeno had closed his eyes to the fact that Timothy had returned to Alexandria during the usurpation, and after Timothy's death he recognised a second leading Monophysite as bishop. ...
- Acacius died five years after his condemnation, still bishop and still unsubmissive. ... Once he had completed his careful reorganisation of the state he, too, turned to solve the great problem, and called in leading Monophysites as his advisors--two very notable personages, Philoxene bishop of Mabboug 10 and the monk Severus whom, in 512, the emperor made patriarch of Antioch. ...
- This was a Monophysite crusade against three bishops--writers all of them--now long since dead, who had once been friends and associates of Nestorius: the bishop of Mopsuestia, Theodore; the bishop of Cyrrhus, Theodoret; the bishop of Edessa, Ibas. ...
- Five years later, in the same city, he again raised the question of their orthodoxy, in his endeavour to bring about the deposition of his superior, the bishop, Flavian--a strong anti- Monophysite. ...
- Once again Roman legates appeared in the capital and, as the condition sine qua non of restoration to communion, the emperor and the bishop--and all the bishops of the empire-- signed the formulary drawn up by the pope, Hormisdas. ... " They therefore, desiring and hoping never to be separated from this faith, anathematize all heresies, and, by name, "Nestorius, once bishop of Constantinople and condemned by Celestine pope of Rome and Cyril bishop of Alexandria. ... " The bishops declare their detestation of the "murderous Timothy the Cat" and his successor Peter; and they also condemn with these "Acacius, the bishop of Constantinople whom the Apostolic See condemned," and all who had remained in communion with Acacius. ...

- The name of the Jacobite Church comes from the name of Jacob Baradai (d 578), a Bishop of Edessa, who organised the Syrian Monophysitic hierarchy and undertook large-scale missionary action in the Arabian Peninsula, Palestine, Syria and Egypt. ...

- At the end of the 5th century, their church was already so well-organised that Babai II, the Bishop of Ctesiphon, was able to adopt the title of the Patriarch of the East, which elevated him to equal status with the Metropolitans of Antioch, Alexandria, and Rome. ...
