Topic: Pope Cyril VI of Alexandria


  
 Wikipedia free encyclopedia
The current Coptic Orthodox Pope of Alexandria and the Patriarch of the Holy See of Saint Mark is Pope Shenouda III (his title should not be confused with that of the Roman Catholic Pope).
Founded around 190 by the scholar Pantanaeus, the school of Alexandria became an important institution of religious learning, where students were taught by scholars such as Athenagoras, Clement, Didymus, and the great Origen, who was considered the father of theology and who was also active in the field of commentary and comparative Biblical studies.
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.

 Articles - Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church
The Oriental Orthodox Churches, which today include the Coptic Orthodox Church, the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Syriac Orthodox Church, the Malankara Orthodox Church of India, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and the Eritrean Orthodox Church, are referred to as "Non-Chalcedonian", and by their detractors as " monophysite ".
Coptic Pope Yosab of Alexandria finally granted autocephaly to the Ethiopian Church with the appointment of an Ethiopian-born Archbishop, Abune Baslios, in 1951.
The Patriarchs of Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem all refused to accept the two natures doctrine proclaimed by the Council of Chalcedon in 451 CE, thus separating them from the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches (which themselves split following the East-West Schism).

 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.
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.
It was never beneath his position as the pope to join the chanter of the church counter singing with him the Psalmody.

 The Pontificate of Pope Shenouda III
In 1959 Pope Cyril VI appointed him to be his personal secretary, but Abuna Antonius preferred the life of solitude.
While kneeling in front of the patriarch apologizing and expecting to be forgiven and to be relieved from the administrative affairs in the monastery, the patriarch placed his hands on the head of the hermit, thereby consecrating him bishop of theological and educational institutions of the Coptic Church.
Both the pontificate of Pope Shenouda III and a dynamic, deeply spiritual, and capable episcopate have succeeded in providing an almost lifeless ecclesiastical institution with new visions and life, thereby retaining the much cherished and long established traditions of the church and filling them with a new sense of spirituality.

 The Eastern Church Defends Petrine Primacy and the Papacy!
For it is they (the Popes of Rome) who have had assigned to them the rule in sacred things, and who have received into their hands the dignity of headship among the Apostles.
Holy men are therefore called the temple of God, because the Holy Spirit dwells in them; as that Chief of the Apostles testifies, he that was found to be blessed by the Lord, because the Father had revealed unto him.
For this, O Emperor, is the highests of the Churches of God, in which first Peter held the Chair, to whom the Lord said: Thou art Peter...and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

 The Ecumenical Councils of the Roman Catholic Church
ACTION: Called by Pope John XXIII and ratified by Pope Paul VI, the Second Vatican Council was a Pastoral Council (not dogmatic) with 16 documents emphasizing ecumenism understood as religious fellowship, rather than emphasizing Catholic missionary enterprise for the conversion to the Faith.
ACTION: Convened and ratified by Pope Pius IX, the First Vatican Council defined the INFALLIBILITY of the Pope when, as Supreme Pontiff, he speaks from the Seat of Peter ( ex cathedra), on a matter of Faith and Morals, pronouncing a doctrine to be believed by the whole Church.
Called by the emperor, it was not attended by the pope or his legates or any bishops from the West.

 Pope Paul VI 3 September 1965 Mystery of Faith
Pope Paul VI by divine providence Pope, to our venerable brothers, the Patriarchs Primates, Archbishops, Bishops and other local Ordinaries in peace and communion with the Holy See, and to all the clergy and faithful of the world: on the doctrine and worship of the Holy Eucharist.
On the other hand St. Cyril of Alexandria rejects as folly the opinion of those who maintained that if a part of the Eucharist was left over for the following day it did not confer sanctification.
And we turn with paternal affection also to those who belong to the venerable Churches of the Orient, from which came so many most illustrious Fathers whose testimony to the belief of the Eucharist we have so gladly cited in our present letter.

 His Holiness Anba Shenouda III, The Estimate, January 28, 2000
His Holiness Shenouda III is considered by Copts to be the 117th patriarch of Alexandria in direct succession to Saint Mark the Evangelist, author of the second Gospel.

 IN DEFENSE OF THE PAULINE MASS
Pope Pius IX declares that any attempt to evade Church discipline on the ground that faith and morals are not involved goes contrary to Catholic doctrine; It is part of Catholic faith and morals.(Whitehead, p.
The very fact that Jesus did not use the term 'Mystery of Faith' during the consecration was reason for Pope Paul VI to move it to another part of the liturgy.
The mere use of the term perpetual did not mean that a subsequent Pope no longer had the authority to revive the religious order which the previous Pope had dissolved.
