Topic: Nestorian Schism


  
 Nestorianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This, and not Nestorianism, is the teaching of the Assyrian Church.
In addition to the Assyrian Church of the East, some Protestant and Reformed organizations foster or tolerate doctrine that could be seen as Nestorian, specifically the doctrine that the Virgin Mary is merely the mother of "Christ's humanity" and denying that she could be seen as the mother of the Son of God.
Assyrian Church of the East is commonly called Nestorian, but it too does not teach Nestorianism.

 Catholic and Orthodox History and Distinctions
The Orthodox Church does not believe the Church of Christ can be split or in schism.
Nestorianism is the opposite of Monophysitism, being the over-emphasis of Christ's human nature with the belief that in Christ were two natures acting separately.
The Church had seen her fair share of heresy prior to the Great Schism, mainly owing to Arius, Macedonius, Nestorius, and Eutyches, whose false doctrines were the primary causes for the calling of the First Ecumenical Council at Nicaea in 325 by St.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Eastern Schism
However, the Eastern Schism always means that most deplorable quarrel of which the final result is the separation of the vast majority of Eastern Christians from union with the Catholic Church, the schism that produced the separated, so-called "Orthodox" Church.
Indeed, the falling away of so many hundreds of Eastern bishops, of so many millions of simple Christians, is explained sufficiently by the schism of the patriarchs.
Since then there has been no intercommunion; a vast "Orthodox" Church exists, apparently satisfied with being in schism with the bishop whom it still recognizes as the first patriarch of Christendom.

 Eastern Rite
1-the Nestorian controversy, producing a Nestorian Church, once spreading over several dozen dioceses from Syria to China, producing a "Nestorian Church" or " Church of the East." This church is now quite small.
Those Churches who overcame the schism with Rome through various contacts and agreements were elevated to a fully Catholic status, and are also now called Eastern Catholic Churches.
Those Eastern Churches who refused to acknowledge this schism continued to be Catholic.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Eastern Churches
A further schism was indeed caused by the Monothelite heresy in the seventh century, but the whole of the Church then formed (the Maronite Church) has been for many centuries reunited with Rome.
The schism was quite manifest in 552, when the primate, Abraham I, excommunicated the Church of Georgia and all others who accepted the decrees of Chalcedon.
The Nestorian who looks at a map of the world can hardly go on believing that his sect is the only and whole Church of Christ.

 History of Christianity
Initially, the schism was primarily between East and West, but today both have congregations all over the world.
Eastern Orthodox Christians often prefer to refer to themselves simply as "orthodox", which means "right worship", and also call themselves catholic.

Whether her doctrine, then or at any time, was what the word "Nestorian" means to us, and what is the theological status of a church which accepts Nicaea, Constantinople, and Chalcedon, but rejects Ephesus, are separate and difficult questions.
In that period, however, it was completed, and the "church of the East" commenced her marvellous medieval career in avowed schism from her sister of Constantinople.
During the long wars between Chosroes and Heraclius, and the anarchy that followed in Persia, the " Nestorian" church has naturally no recorded history, yet at their conclusion it was once more to have formal relations with the patriarchate and church of Constantinople.

 The 11th to the 13th Centuries: Innocent III and the Great Schism
Most of the schisms were caused by national and temperamental divergences among members of the Christian Church, but once the spirit of mutual charity had been lost, differences in doctrine made their appearance, for the divided Christian Churches fell into one-sided interpretations of the faith.
But the schisms invariably ended in a reconciliation, for both sides acknowledged that the Church of Christ must include both Eastern and Western Christians, and that their gifts were complementary.
These quarrels, disastrous as they were, did not however affect the main body of Christians, who tenaciously clung to their unity, firmly believing that there could be only one Church and one Empire.

But during the third council, the theology of Patriarch Nestorius of Constantinople was condemned, causing a rift and the development of a Nestorian Church separate from the Catholic Church.
While it is commonly accepted that the separation of Rome and Constantinople into two Christian Churches was the result of centuries of conflict, the event became known as the Great Schism of 1054.
The Byzantine or Orthodox Church resulted from the schism.

 Nestorianism (Christian) - ThroneWiki
Nestorius was opposed by Cyril of Alexandria and finally condemned at the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD, resulting in the Nestorian schism and the separation of the Assyrian Church of the East from the Byzantine Church.
He suppressed all foreign religions, including Buddhism and Christianity, which then declined sharply in China.
Nestorius responded that he believed that Christ was indeed one person.

 How Greek Science Passed to the Arabs
The Nestorians regarded this as a direct attack upon their religion and were greatly disturbed at the way in which, as they viewed it, the government had gone over to their enemies, the Monophysites.
According to the Nestorian chronicles Yazdgerd I became a persecutor in the last year of his reign, urged on by the native priesthood who were alarined at the spread of Christianity, which probably means that many Mazdeans had been converted to Christianity, contrary to Persian law.
Then a new dispute was raised by Eutyches, the aged archimandrite of a monastery at Constantinople, who propounded the doctrine that in the Incarnation the humanity of Christ was completely merged in his Deity, and the Nestorians (wrongly) asserted that their opponents were Eutychians.

This was followed by the founding of Islam, in which Muhammed claimed to be the prophetic successor to Jesus sent to reestablish true God's religion following the supposed corruption of the early church, and later by the East-West Schism between Eastern Orthodox (meaning 'true worship') and Catholic (meaning 'universal') Christianity.
The Great Schism of 1054 split the Church into Western and Eastern churches: the Western church gradually consolidated into the Roman Catholic Church under the central authority of Rome ( see Catholicism), while the Eastern church adopted the name "Orthodox" to emphasize their commitment to preserving the traditions of the church and resistance to change.
Soon after, during the Nestorian Schism, this church broke all ties with the West.

The Church in Malankara was henceforth overlooked by prelates from the Persian Church but was never directly ruled by it.
The Syrian Christians, popularly known as the Surais, in and around Thrissur who owe allegiance to the Syrian Nestorian patriarch are the followers of the schism Melus created.
This established a relation of the Church in Malabar or Malankara with the East Syrian or Chaldean or The Assyrian Church of the East (formerly officially Nestorian) also believed to have been established by St. Thomas the Apostle in Persia in the First Century.

Insisting that the Church of the East should be allowed to speak for itself, he attempted to understand the doctrine of the Church using the Church's own Syriac books and in particular its prayers and liturgies.
In the catholic literature (I mean the term to include Roman and Anglo-Catholic), treatments of the Church of the East were typically overcast by the traditional understanding of the Nestorian "heresy" and by the horror of "schism".

3rdly, the ordination of the Nestorians is recognised as valid by the Catholic Church.
It is moreover hard to believe that the people would have done an act of irreverence covering their eyes at the time of the elevation of the most Holy Sacrament, since the Nestorians do in no way differ from the Catholics in the dogma, regarding the real presence of our Lord in the Eucharist.
Thomas Christians had written to Abedjesus, the Catholic Chaldean Patriarch, not to Mar Simon, the Nestorian Patriarch, for a Bishop in the place of Mar Joseph, and in accordance with their request Mar Abraham was sent to them by Abedjesus.

 The Orthodox Church - Kallistos Ware
These Churches fall into two groups, the Nestorian Church of Persia, and the five Monophysite Churches of Armenia, Syria (the so-called "Jacobite" Church), Egypt (the Coptic Church), Ethiopia, and India.
The Patriarch of Constantinople is known as the "Ecumenical" (or universal) Patriarch, and since the schism between east and west he has enjoyed a position of special honor among all the Orthodox communities; but he does not have the right to interfere in the internal affairs of other Churches.
The Nestorians and Monophysites passed out of western consciousness even more completely than the Orthodox Church was later to do.

 Antiochene Theology, Theodoret
The separation from the imperial church of the bishops who led the Nestorian schism and the capture of Antioch in 637 by the rising power of Islam checked the further distinctive development of the School of Antioch.
At the Council of Chalcedon (451), Theodoret was identified with the Nestorian opposition, but he was persuaded to renounce Nestorius and was recognized as orthodox.
In his absence the supporters of Eustathius, a former bishop of Antioch, consecrated (362) Paulinus as bishop, creating a schism.

The first schism occurred in the fifth century when the Church of the East (Church of the Persian Empire) ruptured communion from the Church of the West (Church of the Roman Empire).
The fourth schism was also not a true schism.

Like I have mentioned in the beginning, there are some people in our community who, in imitation of the Syrian-Aramean Nestorians, identify themselves with this occultist, objectionable and anti-Semitic empire of the abyss.
After the schism inside the Nestorian Church, the separated part called themselves however Chaldeans to express the difference between them and the other part of the Nestorians.
In the seventeenth century the Roman Catholic church decide to call the group, who was acceded to the Catholic Church, henceforth by the name " Chaldeans" ; because the name Nestorians was a " heretical" name".

 The Virgin Mary and Child Enthroned
It was the Nestorian schism which first gave to the group of the Mother bearing her divine Son that religious importance and significance which it has ever since retained in Catholic countries.
The most ancient Greek figures of the Virgin and Child have perished ; but, as far as I can learn, there is no evidence that these effigies were recognized by the Church as sacred before the beginning of the sixth century.
At length the ecclesiastical authorities, headed by Pope Gregory the Great, stamped them as orthodox, and as the cross had been the primeval symbol which distinguished the Christian from the Pagan, so the image of the Virgin Mother with her Child now became the symbol which distinguished the Catholic Christian from the Nestorian Dissenter.

 Syriac script
In 489 AD there was a schism between the east Syrian followers of Nestorius in Persia and the west Syrian followers of Jacob of Edessa.
The Nestorian's script was known as Nestorian while the Jacobite's script was known as Serto (linear) or Jacobite.
A version of the Nestorian script is still used for religious writings by Christians in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq.
