Council of Chalcédoine

The council of Chalcédoine is the cumenic fourth Concile and took place in the Holy-Euphémie church of the city éponyme in 451, today Kadıköy, a fashionable district of Asian bank of Istanbul.

Convened by the Byzantine Emperor Marcien and his wife the empress Pulchérie it joins together starting from the October 8th 451 between five and six hundred bishops. In the continuity of the preceding councils, it is interested in various christologic problems and condemns in particular the Monophysisme of Eutychès and Dioscore on the basis of letter of the pope Leon I {{er}} entitled Tome to Flavien of Constantinople (name of the Patriarche of Constantinople, recipient of the letter of the Pape). It is during this council that the concept of anybody is redefined:

  1. like the principle of relational differentiation within the mystery of one God at the same time one and trine;
  2. like the principle of unit and identity, in the case of two natures, in the single person of Christ.

However the holy pope Leon Ier the Large one refuses to accept the twenty-eighth gun of the council, which by allotting to the town of Constantinople the title of “Rome News”, calls in question the primacy of the apostolic seat of Rome.

Eastern orthodoxe (or " monophysites " rejected the council and there was a schism with part of syriaques and coptes.
