Topic: Dioscorus I of Alexandria

Ads by Google      Dioscorus (1), patriarch of Alexandria Dioscorus (1), patriarch of Alexandria, succeeded Cyril about midsummer 444, receiving consecration, according to one report (Mansi, vii. Dioscorus called on the bishops to give their verdict as to the theological statements of Eutyches. Dioscorus and his council—as we may well call it—proceeded to depose Theodoret and several other bishops; "many," says Leo, "were expelled from their sees, and banished, because they would not accept heresy" ( http://www.ccel.org/w/wace/biodict/htm/iii.iv.xxvii.htm      Rejection of the Entelechy of Man Dioscorus of Alexandria in the Robber Council of Ephesus (449) had Count Irenaeus, Bishop of Tyre, Ibas Bishop of Edessa, Theodoret and Domnus, the nephew and successor of John of Antioch deposed. The bishops (316 of them) voted overwhelmingly to reject Arius who was banished to Illyria, along with two other dissenting bishops, while the orthodox (Nicene) creed was promulgated. The apparent aim of Arius was to preclude the idea of two Gods and to avoid this he described 'the Son' as a created Being, though far surpassing all others. http://www.overlordsofchaos.com/html/rejection_of_mans_entelechy.html      Prolog: February 28 Dioscorus was one of the leaders of the Monophysite heresy, which taught that there was one nature in Christ [Human] and not two natures [Human and Divine]. This holy and devout man Proterius stood up against Dioscorus for which he endured many miseries. Along the way, the Prophet Isaiah appeared to him in a vision and said: "Return to the city, I am waiting to take you." Proterius returned to Alexandria and entered the church. http://www.westsrbdio.org/prolog/my.html?day=28&month=February      THE EGYPTIAN COPTIC ORTHODOX CHURCH Dioscorus of Alexandria was sent into exile on an island called Gangra, and the political motives of the council of Chalcedon became apparent when Emperor Marcian interfered with matters of faith in the church. The Coptic Church was not part of the Council of Chalcedon, which took place in 451 AD, and the teaching of the council was refuted and unaccepted by the Patriarch Dioscorus of Alexandria. The Church of Alexandria, was one of the five most ancient churches of the world. http://www.stmark-la.com/history.html      Dioscuru and Johnson (1980) A Panegyric on Macarius, Bishop of Tkôw: Attributed to Dioscorus of Alexandria Dioscuru and Johnson (1980) A Panegyric on Macarius, Bishop of Tkôw: Attributed to Dioscorus of Alexandria A Panegyric on Macarius, Bishop of Tkôw: Attributed to Dioscorus of Alexandria http://www.getcited.org/pub/102181774      July Synaxarion He was placed in the Church of the Holy Apostles and he had sent encyclical letters to the bishops to explain the Orthodox faith to them and to engage them in fighting the leaders of the heresy: Nestorius, Eutyches, Dioscorus and all those who admitted a change or a blending in Christ's divine nature. Saint Anatolios was a priest and apocrisiary of the Church of Alexandria in Constantinople. Saint Flavian was deposed by Dioscorus to the Brigandage of Ephesus and died during a beating given him by the heretics. http://www.rongolini.com/synjuly.htm      Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series II, Vol. XII The Churches of Rome and Alexandria Should Be at One in Everything. Leo, the bishop, to Dioscorus, bishop of Alexandria, greeting. For since the most blessed Peter received the headship of the Apostles from the Lord, and the church of Rome still abides by His institutions, it is wicked to believe that His holy disciple Mark, who was the first to govern the church of Alexandria http://www.bible.ca/history/fathers/NPNF2-12/Npnf2-12-14.htm      Webpage Zach And the Synod sent Dioscorus of Alexandria away to Gangra of Thrace, and appointed Proterius bishop in his stead, and received the letter of Leo, which is called the Book. This man, in the days of Proterius who succeeded Dioscorus, saw that the whole city of Alexandria hated Proterius, some in consequence of their zeal for the faith, and others because they had been plundered and persecuted by him, with the object of making them agree to the Synod and accept the Book. And they proclaimed Dioscorus, and wrote his name in the book of life as a chosen and faithful priest of God. http://cyberscriptures.com.hosting.domaindirect.com/record/zach2_1.htm      [No title] When he was weary of torturing them he was advised to send them to Alexandria so that they might not lead others to their faith, as they were loved by everyone to the extent that because of them, many confessed their belief in the Lord Jesus and received the crown of martyrdom. When they took St. Dioscorus to the Island of Gagra, its bishop (who was a Nestorian) met him with contempt and disdain. He took the hair and the teeth that had fallen and sent them to Alexandria with a note saying: "This is the fruit of faith". http://www.missionstclare.com/english/people/sep18o.html      Encyclopedia Coptica: The Christian Coptic Orthodox Church Of Egypt The response of Saint Dioscorus, the Pope of Alexandria who was later exiled, to this interference was clear: "You have nothing to do with the Church." These political motives became even more apparent in Chalcedon in 451, when the Coptic Church was unfairly accused of following the teachings of Eutyches, who believed in monophysitism. The Coptic Orthodox Church's clergy is headed by the Pope of Alexandria and includes Bishops who oversee the priests ordained in their dioceses. 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. http://coptic.net/      Catholic Culture : Document Library : Byzantium and the Roman Primacy It had already been used by Bishop Dioscorus of Alexandria in 449, and by many other bishops, and was also given by the Greeks to Popes Leo I, Hormisdas, and Agapetus. It is well known how Dioscorus, Bishop of Alexandria and promoter of monophysism, once more humiliated Constantinople in allowing her Bishop, the saintly Flavian (441-49), to be condemned by the irregular and ill-famed Synod of Ephesus, justly called the Robber Synod (Latrocinium). Alexandria is second in rank because she was founded by Peter's disciple, St. Mark. http://www.petersnet.net/research/retrieve.cfm?RecNum=1355      Coptic Centre, UK By 190 AD, the Church of Alexandria was exchanging Paschal epistles with the Churches of Jerusalem and Antioch concerning the date of Easter, and there were about forty dioceses under the Patriarch of Alexandria, in the north of the country, in the Delta area. In his See in Alexandria, a Melkite (Greek) Patriarch was imposed, but was not accepted by the people of Alexandria, who preferred to remain loyal to their exiled Patriarch. By the end of the second century, Christianity was well established in Egypt, although pockets of paganism continued to co-exist with the new Faith. http://www.copticcentre.com/two.html      Conflict10 Bishop Dioscorus of Alexandria attempted to impose Monophysitism on the whole Church at the Second Council of Ephesus in 449. Bishop Theophilus of Alexandria (385-412) uses the most unethical means to conspire against the Church of Constantinople. Using the most unethical means, Dioscorus caused the Bishop of Alexandria to be ranked first at this Council, Rome second, Jerusalem third, Antioch fourth, and Constantinople fifth. http://www.uncwil.edu/people/zervosg/PR238/Conflict10.htm      [No title] In the first five centuries before Chalcedon (45 I A. D.), and continuing to the papacy of St. Cyril the Great in Alexandria, the Coptic church was the pre-eminent See of all the Apostolic Sees of this time. Our story begins as this great heritage of the Church invested in St. Athanasius and St. Cyril was passed into the hands of St. Dioscorus, the 25th Pope of the Church of Alexandria. The Alexandrian Fathers of the Coptic church led the way in the first three crucial councils held by the Church, and their spiritual and intellectual leadership established Alexandria as the center of theological discourse and the fountain head of Christian authority. http://www.paonline.com/ahanna/html/Monophysite.htm      Lives of the Saints, February 9, Saint Cyril of Alexandria, St. Apollonia In 430 Cyril became embroiled with Nestorius, patriarch of Constantinople, who was preaching that Mary was not the Mother of God since Christ was divine and not human, and consequently She should not have the word Theotokos (God-bearer) applied to Her. Born at Alexandria, Egypt, and nephew of the patriach of that city, Theophilus, Cyril received a classical and theological education at Alexandria and was ordained by his uncle. There were indeed many Christians who came, pale and trembling, to offer the heathen sacrifices. http://magnificat.ca/cal/engl/02-09.htm      The Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Cross - Studies in the Faith Cyril of Alexandria accepted this confession of John and the bishops of like mind with him as a gift from heaven, acknowledging it as wholly Orthodox. Among those present were the Patriarchs, Eutychius of Constantinople, who presided, Apollinaris of Alexandria, Domninus of Antioch, three bishops as representatives of the Patriarch Eustochius of Jerusalem, and 145 other metropolitans and bishops, of whom many came also in the place of absent colleagues (164 in total). Arius, a priest at the church of Baucalis, came into open conflict with his bishop, Alexander of Alexandria, concerning the divinity of Christ. http://www.goholycross.org/studies/councils.html      CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Nestorius and Nestorianism These bishops, together with Theodoret and Domnus, the nephew and successor of John of Antioch, were deposed by Dioscorus of Alexandria in the Robber Council of Ephesus (449). Meanwhile Nestorius was being attacked by his own clergy and simultaneously by St. Cyril, Patriarch of Alexandria, who first denounced him, though without giving a name, in an epistle to all the monks of Egypt, then remonstrated with him personally by letter, and finally wrote to the pope. Ibas was full of Antiochene theology, but in his famous letter to Maris the Persian he disapproves of Nestorius as well as of Cyril, and at the Council of Chalcedon he was willing to cry a thousand anathemas to Nestorius. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10755a.htm      Flavian, Saint --  Encyclopædia Britannica patriarch of Alexandria and Eastern prelate whose subscription to the unorthodox beliefs of the Monophysites caused him to be deposed and excommunicated by the Council of Chalcedon in 451. http://www.britannica.com/eb/article?eu=35145      LT29 - Papal Authority in the First Ecumenical Councils / A Dubious Translation of Ecclesia Dei Cyril of Alexandria appeals to Celestine of Rome to deal with Nestorius in Constantinople; and Celestine replies, delegating Cyril to excommunicate Nestorius if he fails to recant within ten days, equating his own judgment with "the divine sentence of our Christ," and stating that he has written in similar terms to four other major Bishops. Theodosius commands all his subjects to practise "that religion which Peter the Apostle transmitted to the Romans," and which as followed by the "Pontiff" Damasus and the "Bishop" Peter of Alexandria, "a man of apostolic sanctity." Ullmann (op. They may be taken as fairly typical statements of Roman Catholic belief on the one hand, and the viewpoint of many who are sceptical of the traditional Catholic interpretation of history on the other. http://www.rtforum.org/lt/lt29.html      ERP History Arius, a priest in Alexandria, maintained that the Son was inferior to the Father, and, in drawing a dividing line between God and creation, he placed the Son among created things: a superior creature, it is true, but a creature none the less. The system later known among Orthodox as the Pentarchy was now complete, whereby five great sees in the Church were held in particular honour, and a settled order of precedence was established among them: in order of rank, Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem. Cyril, the protagonist of the opposite tradition of Alexandria, started from the unity of Christ's person rather than the diversity of His humanity and Godhead, but spoke about Christ's humanity less vividly than the Antiochenes. http://www.kosovo.com/history2.html      [No title] He commanded him not to turn aside from it, neither to the right nor to the left, and to depend in all his sayings and works on the Orthodox faith which was established by the Three Hundred and Eighteen Fathers in Nicea and according to what they commanded in the Canon and the Law. He felt optimistic with it and wrote to St. Dioscorus a reply to the epistle congratulating him on his Christian presidency and on the Orthodox faith. He was chosen Patriarch by the guidance of the Holy Spirit after the departure of his predecessor, St. John. http://www.lacopts.org/Synaxarium/02-Babah/02-Babah17.html      Sketches in the History of Western Philosophy Named after Arius of Alexandria, this was the doctrine that while Jesus was the Son of God and the perfect man, he was not perfect God, with the Father, and was in fact a created being. The most historically important Christological schism occurred over the doctrine of Dioscorus of Alexandria, who argued that Jesus actually only had one nature, the divine. This was opposed by Athanasius of Alexandria, for whom Jesus was just as much God as the Father and was uncreated and eternal. http://www.friesian.com/hist-1.htm      Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Consultation What we are here concerned with is the evidence already presented by this writer as far back as 1959-60 and especially 1964 that both Leo and Dioscoros are Orthodox because they agree with St. Cyril Of Alexandria, especially with his Twelve Chapters, even though both had been considered heretical by the other side here represented. It was understood that John of Antioch's reconciliation with Cyril of Alexandria and his acceptance of the Third Ecumenical Council with the Twelve Chapters was done on behalf of all bishops of the Patriarchate of Antioch. In other words both traditions agree on what the incarnate Logos is constituted of, created and uncreated natures, the uncreated being from the Father and the created nature from the Theotokos. http://www.romanity.org/htm/ro4en.htm      CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Byzantine Empire Strange as it seems at the present day, everything pointed to the supremacy of the orthodox Patriarch of Egypt, whose proud title ( Papa et patriarcha Alexandriae, etc.) is now the only reminder that its bearer was once in a fair way to become the spiritual rival of Constantinople. As he undertook the campaign against Alexandria, so he was also able to bring the still independent Church of Asia Minor under the authority of Constantinople. It now seemed as though Alexandria had gained her object. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03096a.htm      [No title] He commanded him to keep guarding the faith and to let the sayings and work of the Orthodox faith instituted by the Three Hundred and Eighteen Fathers in Nicaea be his accord. He rejoiced after reading it and responded to St. Dioscorus congratulating him on his Christian leadership and for guarding the Orthodox faith. Abba Dioscorus joyfully received this message and he read it from the pulpit to all the people. http://www.missionstclare.com/english/people/oct28o.html      Between Scylla and Charybdis - The Orthodox Church The document has the Emperor Constantine (early fourth century) writing, “And we ordain and decree that he [the pope] shall have the supremacy as well over the four chief seats: Antioch, Alexandria, Constantinople, and Jerusalem, as also over all the churches of God in the whole world. And he who for the time being shall be pontiff of that holy Roman church shall be... At the time of the break, to promote good order, the Church was governed by a hierarchical structure of bishops and metropolitans (archbishops). http://home.earthlink.net/~rgjones3/Between%20Scylla%20and%20Charybdis/scylla6.htm      451 - free-definition.com Dioscorus of Alexandria is deposed as Patriarch of Antioch.

Bishop of Alexandria; date of birth unknown; d. Constantinople had been granted the next dignity after Rome by the great Council of 381, and the humiliation of Alexandria had embittered the long standing rivalry between the two sees. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05019a.htm      Differences Between Catholics and Orthodox The end result was that Saint Dioscorus of Alexandria was sent to exile and the political motives of the council of Chalcedon became apparent when Emperor Marcianus interfered with matters of faith in the Church. Here, Luke was not enough to serve in Rome, so St. Paul called on Mark specifically to serve with him, and stayed there till Paul was martyred then he returned to Alexandria once more. Saint Dioscorus courageously told the Emperor: "You have nothing to do with the Church". http://www.stmark-la.com/book.html      Timetable September 1998: History of Western Music I (MUSC 321) The Monophysite doctrine on only One Nature of Christ as God, argued by Dioscorus of Alexandria, was overthrown by the Council members However, in the Orthodox Church, the title of Pope is not limited only to the Bishop of Rome; it is also borne by the head of the Patriarchate of Alexandria who is the Pope of Alexandria The other four patriarchates, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem, constitute what is today known as the Orthodox Church. http://www.research.umbc.edu/~dkusic1/TimetableSeptember321.htm      Daley: Structures of Charity In 340, Julius I had argued to his brother in the see of Antioch that Athanasius, as bishop of another Apostolic church (Alexandria), should not have been deposed without the consent of all Christian bishops, and that the ancient canons gave Rome the right to be first judge in cases concerning the see of Alexandria. This "super-metropolitan" or (in later language) patriarchal jurisdiction was confirmed by the Council of Nicaea as an "ancient custom," and guaranteed there to the bishops of Alexandria and Antioch as well as the bishop of Rome. Leo reminds Proterius, the new bishop of Alexandria, in 454, of the importance of holding regular provincial synods, as required by ancient custom, especially in the face of resistance to the Chalcedonian definition. http://www.georgetown.edu/centers/woodstock/reese/ec/ec-1daley.htm      Corunum Catholic Apologetic Web Page The legates carried several letters including the infamous 'Tome of Leo' in order to expound the orthodox faith regarding the nature of the Incarnation. The synod in 449 happens to be the Robber Council(Ep 95) in Ephesus...Do you wish to align yourself with the anti-papal bishop Dioscorus and Eutchyes and a creed that embraces one nature in Christ after the Incarnation? That is, you are now shifting your argument from Rome's non-role in defending the Nicene faith TO the fact that Rome didn't have half the impact as Athanasius did in defending the Nicene faith! http://www.cin.org/users/jgallegos/papacy1.htm      Popes of Rome who are Orthodox Saints We have written the same to our brothers and fellow bishops John, Rufus, Juvenal, and Flavian, so our judgement about him, or rather the divine sentence of our Christ, may be known.

Originally a deacon of the Church of Alexandria he was adopted into the ranks of the Roman clergy, and by his commanding abilities soon acquired considerable influence in the Church of Rome. To prevent a possible contest for the papacy, Pope Felix IV, shortly before his death, had taken the unprecedented step of appointed his own successor in the person of the aged Archdeacon Boniface, his trusted friend and adviser. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05018a.htm      Patron Saints Index: Saint Proterius Appointed archpriest of Alexandria by Dioscorus, Patriarch of Alexandria.
