It was attended by 150 bishops.The heresy that Jesus born of Mary possessed two natures even after the miraculous union\, was condem ned by this synod. This synod decided not to move away from the decision r eached by all other universal synods prior to it. St. Dioscorus faced many tribulations as he refused to divert from the teachings of ancient Church fathers about Christology.\n\nThere was a schism following the decision o f the AD449 synod\, among the members of monasteries\, prelates & administ rators about the dual nature of Christ. As this dispute reached its height \, the faithful Orthodox Emperor Theodosius died on 28 July AD450 without leaving an heir. His sister Pulcheria was a nun. The prelates of the Nesto rian congregation who desired the support of the rulers allowed her to mar ry. She married Marcian & ascended the throne as the queen. Marcian suppor ted the dyophysite position.\n\nMor Dioscorus had to face a trial in the C halcedon Synod. He said Falvian of Constantinople was banished because he believed Christ had two natures after attaining the human form. He possess ed letters of Church fathers like St. Athanasius\, St. Gregory & St. Coori los to prove that Jesus who attained the human form after the union has on ly one united nature (Miaphysite theology) & it was wrong to say he had du al separate natures\, known as dyophysite theology. St. Dioscorus specific ally stated at the Council\, "One should not conceive of two natures but o f one incarnate nature of the Word". He knew he too might be banished like those fathers but he was not ready to give up their teaching. \n\nThe Cha lcedon Synod of AD451 suspended Mor Dioscorus & he was compelled by Marcia n’s commander to sign the decisions of the synod. The saint refused sayi ng\, “Even if my hand is severed & blood flows over the paper I will not sign it.” Then according to the orders of Marcian he was banished to Ga ngra (now Cankri\, Turkey) where he passed away 3 years later after consec rating Timothy II as legitimate Orthodox (Miaphysite) Pope of Alexandria. Mor Dioscorus is commemorated every Sunday in the Thubden d-Qadishe (5th T hubden/Dypthic) of the Syriac Orthodox Church Holy Qurbono.\n\nBiography c ourtesy of\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prelates of the Syriac Orthodox Church' \n\nOh Mor Dioscorus! Plead for us before God's throne of grace. By your prayers may the Holy Orthodox Church and her faithful be protected from al l manner of persecution. Amen.\n\nParis 146 and Vat.
