Arkady,
It was the orthodox church who in one point in time affirmed one incarnate nature, then re-evaluated their position at chalcedon and took on the teaching of two natures, which incidentally was the teaching of the church of the east. It is common for you guys to uphold a position i.e. Mar Theodore, and then reverse the decsion that your fathers made in future councils.
If you are glad you are not part of the "movement" of the Church of the East, which is the only church with true claim to apostolic succession (in a historical sense), then i guess we ae at odds with one another. This church has been persecuted by your church, by the RCC, by muslims and pagans, but yet we never persecuted others. Which church has displayed spiritual fruits?
The blessed virgin Mary is held to the highest esteem within our church, but the title that cyril gave her is NOT correct nor is it orthodox, as the term was NEVER used in the first or second century, nor was it ever used within our Church.
Notice your charge against us as being heretical, notice our language in the church of the east catachism "beloved sister chuches" again, who is displaying spiritual fruits?
Explain how a person who is proven to be a briber, become a canonised saint?
