[QUOTE]Originally posted by rahotep101: [QB] The Egyptian Christians were as Egyptian as their Egyptian polytheists ancestors of centuries before. Some of them had names reflecting their pagan roots, such as Origen, which comes from Horus. The Copts, for the most part, were not part of the Greek Church (Melkites) and had their liturgy in their own ancestral language (Coptic) not in Greek. The native Egyptian church and the Byzantine Church never got on well, and split after the Council of Chalcedon. After that the Egyptians were persecuted as heretics, by their Greek rulers, over some theological minutae. The Alexandrian Copts were not Greeks but were enemies of the Greeks! The Alexandrian Patriarch, who also held authority over Ethiopia, was not a creature of the Byzantine empire but of the native Egyptain church, which was in schism with the Byzantine church (which was then also the Roman Catholic Church because the two had not yet split). Hence why Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity is also sometimes called Coptic. [/QB][/QUOTE]
