| | Coptic Christianity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Coptic Church believes that Christ is perfect in His divinity, and He is perfect in His humanity, but His divinity and His humanity were united in one nature called "the nature of the incarnate word", which was reiterated by Saint Cyril of Alexandria. | | | Traditionally, the Coptic language was used in church services, and the scriptures were written in the Coptic alphabet. | | | Coptic Orthodox Christianity is the indigenous form of Christianity that, according to tradition, the apostle Mark established in Egypt in the middle of the 1st century AD (approximately 42). |

| | The popes are thus the successors of Peter and as a result, retain his privileges, given by Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew (Mt 16:18-19). | | | He is considered a saint and the first pope in the Roman Catholic Church and its Eastern Rite. | | | Other religious denominations of Christendom recognize his office as Bishop of Antioch and later Bishop of Rome but do not affirm the belief that his episcopacy had primacy over other episcopates elsewhere in the world. |
