| | Christianity Portal | The term Oriental Orthodoxy refers to the communion of Eastern Christian Churches that recognise only the first four ecumenical councils — the First Council of Nicaea, the First Council of Constantinople, the First Council of Ephesus and the Second Council of Ephesus — and reject the dogmatic definitions of the Council of Chalcedon. Hence, these Churches are also called Old Oriental Churches. Despite potentially confusing nomenclature, Oriental Orthodox churches are distinct from the churches that are collectively referred to as Eastern Orthodoxy. Eastern Christianity refers collectively to the Christian traditions and churches which developed in Greece, Russia, Armenia, the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, the Middle East, northeastern Africa and southern India over several centuries of religious antiquity. ...

The First Council of Nicaea, held in Nicaea in Bithynia (present-day Iznik in Turkey), convoked by the Roman Emperor Constantine I in 325, was the first Ecumenical council[1] of the early Christian Church, and most significantly resulted in the first uniform Christian doctrine, called the Nicene Creed. ...

The Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria is considered the spiritual leader of the Oriental Orthodox Churches. It is to be noted that the spiritual leadership is not in the same sense understood for the one extended among the Eastern Orthodox churches to the Church of Constantinople; it is however, in the spirit of respect and honor for the Apostolic Throne of Alexandria. It does not give any prerogatives, jurisdiction or rights to the Church of Alexandria in any way as in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Jesus Christ in a Coptic icon The Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria (Coptic: , literally: the Egyptian Orthodox Church of Alexandria) is the official name for the largest Christian church in Egypt. ...
History The schism between Oriental Orthodoxy and what would become the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches occurred in the 5th century. The separation resulted in part from the refusal of Pope Dioscorus, the Patriarch of Alexandria, to accept the Christological dogmas promulgated by the Council of Chalcedon, which held that Jesus has two natures — one divine and one human. This was not because the council stated that Christ has two natures, but because the council's presiders refused to confess (more than wordly) that the two natures are inseparable and united. Pope Dioscorus would accept only "of or from two natures" but not "in two natures." The word schism (IPA: or ), from the Greek σχίσμα, skhÃsma (from σχίζω, skhÃzÅ, to tear, to split), means a division or a split, usually in an organization or a movement. ...

The Council of Chalcedon was an ecumenical council that took place from October 8 to November 1, 451, at Chalcedon (a city of Bithynia in Asia Minor), today part of the city of Istanbul on the Asian side of the Bosphorus and known as the district of Kadıköy. ...

To the hierarchs who would lead the Oriental Orthodox, this was tantamount to accepting Nestorian-flavored terminology, according their definition of Christology, which was founded in the Alexandrian School of Theology that advocated a formula stressing the unity of the Incarnation over all other considerations. Nestorianism is the doctrine that Jesus exists as two persons, the man Jesus and the divine Son of God, or Logos, rather than as a unified person. ...
The Oriental Orthodox churches were therefore often called Monophysite, although they reject this label, which is associated with Eutychian Monophysitism, preferring the term "non-Chalcedonian" or "Miaphysite" churches. Oriental Orthodox Churches reject the heretical Monophysite teachings of Eutyches, the heretical teachings of Nestorius and the Dyophysite definition of the Council of Chalcedon. Monophysitism (from the Greek monos meaning one and physis meaning nature) is the christological position that Christ has only one nature, as opposed to the Chalcedonian position which holds that Christ has two natures, one divine and one human. ...

Christology, although important, was not the only reason for the refusal of the Council of Chalcedon - political, ecclesiastical and imperial issues were hotly debated.
In the years following Chalcedon, the patriarchs of Constantinople remained in communion with the non-Chalcedonian patriarchs of Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem, while Rome remained out of communion with Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem, and in unstable communion with Constantinople. It was not until 518 AD that the Byzantine Emperor, Justin I, on the ultimatum of the Roman patriarch, demanded that the Church of the Roman Empire be Chalcedonian once and for all. Justin ordered the deposition and replacement of all anti-Chalcedonian bishops, including the patriarchs of Antioch and Alexandria. By 525 AD, anti-Chalcedonian Christians found themselves being persecuted by the Roman Empire, a situation which would not end until the rise of Islam. Flavius Iustinus Augustus. ...
In the 20th century, the Chalcedonian schism was no longer seen with the same relevance, and from several meetings between the authorities of Roman Catholicism and Oriental Orthodoxy, a reconciling declaration was made by the leaders of both churches.

| “ | The confusions and schisms that occurred between their Churches in the later centuries, they realise today, in no way affect or touch the substance of faith, since these arose only because of differences in terminology and culture and in the various formulae adopted by different theological schools to express the same matter. Accordingly, we find today no real basis for the sad divisions and schisms that subsequently arose between us concerning the doctrine of Incarnation. In words and life we confess the true doctrine concerning Christ our Lord, notwithstanding the differences in interpretation of such a doctrine which arose at the time of the Council of Chalcedon. | ” | From the common declaration of Pope John Paul II and HH Mar Ignatius Zakka I Iwas, June 23, 1984 Coat of Arms of Pope John Paul II.

According to the canons of the Oriental Orthodox Churches, the bishops of Rome, Alexandria, Ephesus (later transferred to Constantinople), Antioch and Jerusalem were given special status as patriarchs. In other words, the Patriarch of Alexandria, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, the Patriarch of Antioch, the Patriarch of Constantinople and the Patriarch of the West (i.e. the pope) headed the ancient apostolic centres of Christianity. Each patriarch was responsible for those bishops and churches under his jurisdiction. By virtue of the commonly held belief that both Saint Peter and Saint Paul suffered martyrdom in Rome, the Bishop of Rome was regarded by the other patriarchs as being Primus inter pares (First Among Equals), or Eldest Brother. The other patriarchs did not regard the Bishop of Rome as possessing any authority outside of his own patriarchate. For other uses, see Rome (disambiguation). ...

The technical reason for the schism was that the Bishop of Rome excommunicated the non-Chalcedonian bishops in 451 AD for refusing to accept the "in two natures" teaching, thus declaring them to be out of communion with him, although they continued to recognise the Pope of Rome as an equal. Whilst the Roman Catholic Church teaches that the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church founded by Christ subsists within itself, it also holds that elements of the true Church of Christ exist in other churches and ecclesiastic bodies. The Second Vatican Council said in its Dogmatic Constitution on the Church (Lumen Gentium, 1964, § 15): "in some real way [non-Catholic Christians] are joined with us in the Holy Spirit, for to them too He gives His gifts and graces whereby He is operative among them with His sanctifying power." The phrase One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church appears in the Nicene Creed () and, in part, in the Apostles Creed (the holy catholic church, sanctam ecclesiam catholicam). ...
