CHURCH COUNCILS AND MARKS OF THE CHURCH Group 2: Madison O’Donnell, Kealee Hohmann and Jackie Alacqua THE COUNCIL OF CHALCEDON ➤ Purpose: ➤ To address the Eutychian controversy ➤ Eutychian controversy- the controversy about the relationship between Jesus’ divine and human nature started by Eutyches teaching that Jesus’ divinity overcame his humanity. ➤ To establish a unified teaching of Jesus’ humanity and divinity THE COUNCIL OF CHALCEDON ➤ Conclusion ➤ The Chalcedonies conclusion ➤ Christ has two natures in one- He is both fully human and fully divine THE COUNCIL OF CHALCEDON ➤ One ➤ This council united Church beliefs ➤ Catholic ➤ Created a universal church teaching THE SECOND COUNCIL OF CONSTANTINOPLE ➤ This council was called by Emperor Justinian and it mostly dealt with the emperors wanting to condemn the Three Chapters. ➤ Three Chapters Controversy: Justinian Condemned them because they supported Nestorious and his views about Christ’s human and divine natures being separated rather than together. THE SECOND COUNCIL OF CONSTANTINOPLE ➤ Conclusions ➤ This council created its own 11 “chapters”. ➤ The pope left Rome to go to Constantinople, because he was called by Justinian, who wanted him to condemn the three chapters. He was allowed to start his return to Rome in 555. THE SECOND COUNCIL OF CONSTANTINOPLE ➤ Catholic: ➤ Justinian believed that condemning the Three Chapters would create and have Catholics believe of the “one nature” in Christ. THIRD COUNCIL OF CONSTANTINOPLE ➤ Convened to ➤ end the monothelite controversy ➤ attempt to settle the differences between the Church in the East and West THIRD COUNCIL OF CONSTANTINOPLE ➤ Conclusions ➤ It validated the decisions of the first five councils and the creeds of Nicaea and Constantinople I. ➤ By signing to A Definition of Faith, bishops disapproved monoenergism and monothelitism as heretical. ➤ Monoenergism/monothelistism is the teaching about how divine and how human Jesus really was. Specifically being that Jesus is viewed having two natures, but only one will. THIRD COUNCIL OF CONSTANTINOPLE ➤ One ➤ preserved orthodox, Trinitarian doctrines in the face of new attacks to create peace between the East and West ➤ Holy ➤ classified the nature of Christ as fully God and fully man, extending that definition to include his nature, power and will BIBLIOGRAPHY ➤ http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Councils/ecum06.htm ➤ http://www.challies.com/articles/7-councils-the-third- council-of-constantinople ➤ newworldencyclopedia.org ➤ http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03555a.htm.

Ecumenical Councils Preparing for Next Week (Disciple 6–Eucharist 1)
January St. Dominic’s RCIA Program Disciple The Church: 15 History & Teaching 4 Goal • Having switched the Disciple 4 & 5 weeks, we looks at an overview of the Sacraments last week (Disciple 5), and explored the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation. These Sacraments are two of the three that initiate us into the Church community, and into Christ’s body and mission. This week we’ll continue to unpack the meaning of Church by looking broadly at its history one the last 2000 years. We’ll also explore it’s role as Teacher. How does the Church function in and through history? How does God walk with the Church through it all? Agenda • Welcome/Housekeeping (10) • Questions & Answers • Introduction to the Rosary (15) Discussion (15): • If the Church is The Body of Christ, what does this mean for Christ’s presence in the world through history and in the world today? • What do I admire about the Catholic Church’s activity in history? Does any part of the Church’s activity in history disturb or upset me? • How do I (might I) listen to what the Church has to say today? What is my approach/attitude to the Church as “Teacher”? • Presentation: The Church: History (35) • Break (10) • Presentation: The Church: Teaching & Belief (30) • Discussion (time permitting): • What is special to this moment in history? • What is the Good News of Christ & the Church that speaks to this moment in history? • How can the body of Christ proclaim & witness the Gospel and walk with others today? Housekeeping Notes • Rite of Acceptance: February 10th at the 11:30am and 5:30 Masses.

His execution, in 1321, ended the official presence of the Cathars – who preferred to call themselves Good-Men and Good-Women- in the South of France. The Catholic Church, feeling that the influence of this alleged heretic movement threatened its power, started procedures around 1147 to at first control the Cathars peacefully, but failing to do so, later felt it had to destroy them, by means of crusades and the Inquisition.

1 Jesus and the Gospel Movement: Not Afraid To Be Partners (Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 2006) by William Thompson-Uberuaga CHAPTER THREE —supplements— (1) eschatology and geography; (2) christology and the creeds, Alexandrines, Antiochenes, technical categories, western and Syriac traditions, the hypostatic union. Eschatology, Geography, and the Advancing Jesus Movement It will be useful to return to the theme of time and space, which we noted in our second chapter on the New Testament materials. We recall that the orientation to the divine Ground transforms temporality into history, and space into place. At the same time, neither time nor space is simply “there” for humans to manipulate or use in an arbitrary fashion. In some sense, time remains time and not history, and space remains space and not simply place. Jesus and his movement exist within these complicated coordinates, as all humans do, and we noted something of the way in which the Jesus event revalorized each of these coordinates. Inasmuch as Jesus through and with his new community mediates a more personalized relationship with the divine Ground, history becomes even more fully packed with the promise of personal meaning and space becomes even more fully an hospitable home/place for the advancing Jesus movement. But the issue is really more complex, and returning to it offers us the possibility of 2 adding greater texture to the themes covered in this chapter. It will also likely bring greater ambiguity to our proposals. But such would seem to be the way of reality. Apocalyptic and Eschatology “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since our ancestors died, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation!,” some were apparently complaining at the time of Second Peter (3.4), one of the later New Testament writings.

Dionysius to Maximus 09:00 - 10:20 Wednesday, 21St August, 2019 Room 11 Presentation Type Short Communications Scott
Dionysius to Maximus 09:00 - 10:20 Wednesday, 21st August, 2019 Room 11 Presentation type Short Communications Scott 806 The Gnoseological Function of σύμβολον in Dionysius the Areopagite Alexandru Atanase Barna University of Bucharest, Bucharest, Romania Abstract The text presents some aspects on the way Dionysius the Areopagite uses σύμβολον, not merely as a liturgical instrument, but more as a gnoseological category. As scholars have analyzed the link between symbol and mystery or symbol and ontology, I develop in this paper the link between symbol and gnoseology, to propose a sense and a content for Dionysian ‘symbolic theology’, mentioned several times in Corpus Dionysiacum. From this perspective, symbol, as it is used and linked with other mystical and gnoseological concepts, can be also understood as an instrument that reveals a special theological content a Christian needs to access, a sort of personal dynamic knowledge revealed through mysteries. Α comparative analysis of the contexts and meanings of σύμβολον in Neoplatonic representative literature and in CD follows an interrogation on the sources and nature of the symbolic theology, announced as the title of the unknown treatise Symbolic Theology and widely present within the Corpus, even not directly expressed or deciphered. Several terms relating symbolon reveal a special semantic field, which involves a gnoseological function that can be attributed to the theological revelated content correspondent to those symbols. I propose the idea that the meanings of symbols, as are used by Dionysius, represent a path to distinguish in his works a theology of revelation. A special relation between gnoseology and ontology in Dionysius is questioned in the final part of the paper, but the conclusion focuses on the fact that the gnoseological function of symbolon is better anchored in the use and nature of CD.

Paweł Rojek the Logic of Palamism
Paweł Rojek The Logic of Palamism Studia Humana nr 6, 3-25 2013 Studia Humana Volume 2:2 (2013), pp. 3—25 The Logic of Palamism Paweł Rojek Institute of Philosoph y, The Jagiellonian University , Poland e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The teaching of St. Gregory Palamas (1296–1359) is usually considered as a paradigmatic case of Eastern Christian mystical theology. It is held that it goes beyond rational thinking and is based on antinomic premises. Contrary to this widespread view, I try to gi ve a consistent account of two crucial ideas of Palamism: the distinction between essence and energies, and the concept of deification . In doing this, I discuss and develop some formal analyses by Pavel Florensky (1882–1937). It proves that Palamas’ teaching is no less rational than any other metaphysical theory. This result casts a new light on the alleged irrational character of Eastern Christian theology, which aspect is sometimes thought to be an obstacle in t he dialog between the West and the East. This paper was first published in the volume Schumann A. (ed), Logic in Orthodox Christian Thinking . Ontos Verlag, 2013, pp. 3 8-81. 1. Introduction The teaching of St. Gregory Palamas (1296–1359) is widely considered both as the peak of traditional patristic and Byzantine theology and also as the main source of contempo rary Orthodox theology. The status of Palamas in the Christian East may be comparable only with the position of St. Thomas Aquinas in the West. The teaching of these two masters is often contrasted.
