 Encyclopedia Coptica: The Christian Coptic Orthodox Church Of Egypt
Saint Cyril, Pope of Alexandria, was the head of the Ecumenical Council which was held in Ephesus in the year 430 A.D. It was said that the bishops of the Church of Alexandria did nothing but spend all their time in meetings.

Pope Zozimus in a letter to Africa in 417 relates the trial and partial acquittal of the heretic Caelestius in the basilica of St. Clement; the pope had chosen this church because Clement had learned the Faith from St. Peter, and had given his life for it (Ep.

 Pope Cyril VI
Before him, five popes of Alexandria bore the name Kyrillos (Cyril); the first of them was Saint Cyril the Great of Alexandria, the pillar of faith, who acted against Nestorianism and used the title Theotokos, meaning God bearer, or Mother of God, for the Virgin Mary.
But when his successor, H.H. Pope Shenouda III read his will, he had to follow his wishes and move his holy body to the desert south west of Alexandria, to the Monastery of Saint Mina which was re-established and immensely expanded by Pope Kyrillos to honour his patron saint, St. Mina of Mariout.
Pope Kyrillos was a holy man of prayer who through full dedication to the life of prayer and fasting possessed many higher gifts which included performing wonders and miracles, the gift of knowledge, and an unusual ability to lead by example.

 NPNF (V2-07) (ii.iii.i)
The tradition that Cyril had been a monk and an ascetic was probably founded upon the passages in which he seems to speak as one who had himself belonged to the order of Solitaries, and shared the glory of chastity
One member only of Cyril’s family is mentioned by name, his sister’s son Gelasius, who was appointed by Cyril to be Bishop of Cæsarea on the death of Acacius, a.d.
The beginning of Cyril’s Episcopate was marked by the appearance of a bright Cross in the sky, about nine o’clock in the morning of Whitsunday, the 7th of May, 351 a.d.

 St. Mina Monastery - Home Page
Therefore, there is no doubt that it was God who guided the late Pope Kyrillos (Cyril) VI to revive the glorious memory of this magnificent saint, and to bring back life to that land (Mariut) which St. Mina had once filled with life and miracles.
Pope Kyrillos' yearning for St. Mina's ancient church pushed him to ride a donkey to the ancient church to receive the blessing of St. Mina's land.
The Pope sent his secretary to pray evening raising of incense and ensure that everything was ready for the feast's Holy Liturgy in the morning.

 The Life of His Holiness Pope Shenouda III
In 1959, His Holiness Pope Cyril VI appointed him to be his personal secretary, but Father Antony still preferred the life of solitude.
  Once H.H. Pope Cyril VI allowed him to return to the life for which his spirit yearned, he searched the desert and came upon a cave ten kilometers from the monastery at Bahr al-Farigh; it became a new haven of spiritual growth and holy devotion.
A key feature of the Pope's sermons is his ability to speak about diverse and innovative topics, while correlating them with common life situations and personal problems.

 Newman Reader - Tracts - St. Cyril's Formula
And Cyril of Alexandria, whose Formula is in question, in his controversy with Theodoret.
Cyril moreover explains as well as instances this use of the word.
Especially not physis—first on Scripture grounds—next on grounds of reason—The divine physis must retain the fulness of its attributes—therefore the human physis must have a restricted meaning—How then is there a human physis at all?—Hence the form and the force of Cyril's Formula.

 Pope Pius XII 9 April 1944 St. Cyril
Let Cyril of Alexandria be a model to all in the energy and fortitude with which he defended the faith and kept it inviolate.
The result was that, when Cyril's 'dogmatic' letter had been publicly read, all the Fathers of the Council acclaimed it by solemn verdict as being in complete accordance with the true faith.
It was with the consolation which he derived from these words of Our Predecessor that the Prelate of Alexandria, this invincible champion of the orthodox faith, this most earnest promoter of Christian unity, passed to his rest in the peace of Christ.

 Priestly Celibacy in Patristics and Church History
From these sources, we learn that from the time of Alexander III (1159-1181) married men were not, as a rule, allowed to have ecclesiastical benefices; a lower cleric who married would have his benefice withdrawn, but not his right to subdiaconate ordination on the condition that he discontinues his marital life.
The law of continence is the same for the ministers of the altar, for the bishops and for the priests; when they were (still) lay people or lectors, they could freely take a wife and beget children.
In 1322 Pope John XXII insisted that no one bound in marriage — even if unconsummated — could be ordained unless there was full knowledge of the requirements of Church law.

 Articles - Pope Cyril III of Alexandria
His Holiness Cyril III (also known as Cyril III ibn Laqlaq) was the Coptic Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark (1235- 1243).
Cyril used the increasing military and political power of Egypt over Jerusalem to appoint the Jacobite bishop of that church, which until then had been the prerogative of the Patriarch of Antioch.
This angered Patriarch Ignatius III David, who retaliated by attempting unsuccessfully to fill the vacancy of Abuna or metropolitan for the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

 St. Jerome and Rome Papacy Pope
In the case of the Patriarch of Alexandria, the actual appointment was not by any bishop or bishops, but by the Alexandrian priests -- so St. Jerome believed.
In these he begs for the Pope's decision as to which of the three claimants of the patriarchal see of Antioch is to be communicated with.
The Pope is asked to say which of the rivals is the true bishop (15:5; 16:2).

 RTF Study Program - LESSON 5: THE PATRISTIC APPROACH TO SACRED SCRIPTURE
But they differ in this that the school of Antioch, represented above all by John Chrysostom and Theodoret, stressed the literal sense, whereas the school of Alexandria, molded by Origen and Clement of Alexandria and carried forward by most of the Fathers of the West, labored to bring out the spiritual senses.
There is a basic underlying unity in their approach in that they all believe in the supernaturally revealed realities that constitute the object of Christian faith and in the inspired character of the sacred text.
The Apostolic Fathers of the first century and the apologists of the second century made some references to typical and other allegorical meanings of the sacred text, but their main interest was in the defense of the literal meaning.

 Question to Catholic Caucus (Re: St. Max Kolbe and Mary)
Cyril of Alexandria, Pope Sixtus III, St. Celestine, Pope Leo the Great.
Although there are some mariologists who want to label all of these usages as “marginal therefore devoid of doctrinal weight”, I beg to differ with them and find their judgment strangely out of harmony with the declaration of Lumen Gentium 25 on the Pope’s ordinary magisterium.
It is not a “new” truth, but it is one which the Holy Spirit has brought to the fore with ever more precision in the course of the past millennium (cf.
