[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] Hikuptah, I am not confusing Coptic Catholics up with just plain Coptic Orthodox or even Protestants. The Coptic church never claimed to be Monophysites but actually followed Miaphysite rite from Cyril. You can argue the point all you want but ask any Coptic Christian and they will tell you they are not and never been Monophysites. Here is a Christian forum where about two Copts are aruging with others that Copts were never Monphysites: http://www.christianforums.com/t1500435-why-the-copts-are-not-monophysites.html Here is another source: Chalcedon, council of Ancient city in Asia Minor, present day Turkey. In 451 church leaders gathered in Chalcedon to work out commonly acceptable descriptions of the Trinity and of Christ. They suceeded in writing texts that won assent from the majority, healing an impending rift between the East and the West. Some Easterners, however, including most Egyptians, found the phrasing unacceptable. The majority at the council condemned these dissenters as "monophysites," or one-nature-ites in their approach to Christ. [b]Their spiritual descendants, the Coptic Church (q.v.) deny that they ever took a monophysite position, and see political motives behind the condemnation: seeFrend 1972; Monophysitism 1991; [URL=http://www.coptic.net.[/b]]www.coptic.net.[/b][/URL] http://egypt.cla.umn.edu/glossary.html You claim to know alot about the Copts and accuse me of using non-Coptic sources but I used the views of two Coptic Christian posters on a Christian forum. . Though the Patriarch Dioscuris was Monophysite, most of the Copts were not really Monophysite, but held more to the position of the Patriarch Cyril who held office Most sincerely, Frank J.
