Editing Pope Leo I (section)

=== Oriental Orthodox view ===

Leo's Christological formula however was not entirely well received. Following the death of Dioscorus, the [[List of patriarchs of Alexandria|See of Alexandria]] split into two rival patriarchates; opposing and supporting Chalcedon respectively. The former of which, led by [[Timothy II of Alexandria]] would condemn both the heresy of Eutyches as well as the Council of Chalcedon and the Tome of Leo at the [[Third Council of Ephesus]]. The communion that accepted Ephesus III is known today as the [[Oriental Orthodox Church]].<ref>{{cite book|author1=Richard Price|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6IUaOOT1G3UC&pg=PA94|title=The Acts of the Council of Chalcedon|author2=Michael Gaddis|date=2006|isbn=0-85323-039-0|pages=1–5| publisher=Liverpool University Press |access-date=2016-11-01}}</ref>

Ephesus III accused Leo's formula of two natures after the union as being fundamentally no different to the view of Nestorius, contradicting Cyril of Alexandria's formula of "mia physis tou Theo logou sesarkōmenē", or "one (mia) nature of the Word of God incarnate" (μία φύσις τοῦ θεοῦ λόγου σεσαρκωμένη).{{sfn|Meyendorff|1989|p=196}}<ref>{{Cite web|title=Zachariah of Mitylene, Syriac Chronicle (1899).

Several Oriental Orthodox Church historians, such as Pakhoum A. El-Moharraky and Waheeb Atalla Girgis have viewed the council as a dispute with the Church of Rome over precedence among the various patriarchal sees. Coptic sources,<ref>{{Cite book|title=The christological teaching of the non-chalcedonian churches|last1=A.

The Coptic Orthodox Christians are Miaphysites, which means they believe that Jesus Christ is both 100% human and 100% divine but in one person without mingling, confusion or alteration. In every liturgy till this day, the Copts recite “Christ's divinity parted not from His humanity, not for a single moment nor a twinkling of an eye".<ref name=QA>{{Cite web |title=Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States - Q&A|url=https://www.suscopts.org/q&a/index.php?qid=918&catid=279 |website=suscopts.org |access-date=September 2, 2024}}</ref>
