[edit] Question

What does "Dyophysitic" mean under "Chalcedonian" entry?

Seems to refer to the dual nature of Christ, fully divine and fully human.

[edit] Import of this page

This article seems, to me, to largely serve as a support article to the Council of Chalcedon, hypostatic union, and monophysitism. As such, I tried to provide all the pertinent information, without duplicating everything on those pages. I see no reason to "re-invent the wheel," and have directed links to where more in-depth info can be found for those who are interested. 17:56, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Majority Chalcedonian?

Are the majority of churches Chalcedonian? In my experience the majority of Protestant churches (which would also be the majority of overall churches, even if not the majority of Christians) don't recognize any of the great councils. Being "Chalcedonian" would seem to infer that one recognizes the Council of 451. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.72.184.155 (talk) 13:36, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the majority of mainline protestant churches do accept the decrees of the first four ecumenical councils. Add up Roman Catholics, Eastern and Oriental Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Methodist (I'm probably missing some in there), and you have the vast majority of the world's Christians.
