HIS 103 HIS 103 Post Chalcedon and the Islamic Era The History of Christianity in Egypt From 451 AD- to 1849 AD THE CHURCH OF ALEXANDRIA IN THE REIGN OF JUSTINIAN I & THE SECOND COUNCIL OF CONSTANTINOPLE (A.D 553)

In the year (A.D. 519),  Pope Timothy was ordained. Anastasias died and Justinian became emperor. Justinian inclined towards Chalcedonianism, yet his wife, Theodora the pious, played the role of trying to appease him at several occasions. THE CHURCH OF ALEXANDRIA IN THE REIGN OF JUSTINIAN I

Once, as Justinian entered the church with Bishop John the Cappadocian, some Chalcedonianism shouted against St. Severus of Antioch and demanded his trial, The emperor then convened a council to settle the matter.

When the Pope of Alexandria learned about the emperor's intention, he didn't go to that council. The emperor commanded that he would be put under arrest, and sent him to exile. A troop of soldiers entered the church by force while the people gathered in support of their pope. The matter developed into a battle between the armed soldiers and the unarm congregation. The soldiers killed many of the people then arrested the pope and sent him to exile.

The emperor imposed an alien patriarch named Apollinarius. Later on, the Pope came back but he was hiding and running from city to another, running from Justinian. Same strategy was adopted by Justinian with pope Theodosius (the 32 nd pope): He ordered him to endorse the resolutions of the Council of Chalcedon, promising to appoint him a pope all over Africa.

The Pope considered these promises devilish and refused to sign. The emperor then summoned him and received him with a great welcome and tempted him six times but the Pope refused. The emperor then imprisoned him in Constantinople and ordained an alien patriarch (Paul El-Tanisi) and sent him with an entourage of soldiers.

The alien bishop remained for a whole year without any of the congregation to pray with him except the ruler and the soldiers. He often heard slogans like, "down with the traitor! down with Jude the alien!," so he asked the emperor to relieve him. The Pope remained in prison for 28 years until he died in A.D 567.

THE SECOND COUNCIL OF CONSTANTINOPLE (A.D 553) Emperors used to interfere in the theological discussions and resorted to violence in handling them. The Eastern, meanwhile, were concerned with the discussions because They affected their faith and life and created an atmosphere of tension that prevailed the empire. There existed three groups that could not be under- estimated:

1. The non-Chalcedonian group (Egypt, Syria) Who didn't bear any authority yet they represented a theological power that could not be resisted. According to Prof. Meyendorff, the Chalcedonians didn't have enough theologians capable of arguing with them. The people and their pastors suffered the bitterness of persecution which created tension against Byzantium and a national tendency to liberate their countries at least to be free in choosing their patriarch and bishop.

2. The Chalcedonian group. who represented the authority, were supported by the royal court and the rulers. not to be asked to accept the Chalcedonian resolutions or to anathematize 3. A third group who wanted the church to go back to pre- Chalcedon, not to be asked to accept the Chalcedonian resolutions or to anathematize them, but just to ignore them. Because of this tense atmosphere, emperors even those who were Chalcedonian tried to find solutions for the sake of unity of the empire and internal peace. Zeno's Henoticon which Anastasius One of these efforts was Zeno's Henoticon which Anastasius bound himself by.

Yet Justinian I thought that he was capable of bringing back the unity to the empire by condemning the "Three Chapters ( Tria Kephalaia )." These chapters were the writings of the semi-Nestorian authors and were included in the documents of the Council of Chalcedon [the writings of Theodore of Mopsuestia, Theodoret of Cyrus and Ibas of Edessa.] In A.D 553 the Council convened in Constantinople and affirmed the anathemas of the "Three Chapters". It also affirmed the emperor's anathema against the Origenists and Origen's writings.

But this council failed and didn't achieve what it was targeting especially that this council did not provide comfort to the people of Alexandria while their legitimate Pope spent the greater time of his papacy in a prison in Constantinople. Even when Paul El-Tenaisy, the alien patriarch, died, another named Apollinarius was ordained by the emperor's command.

This man entered Alexandria in the uniform of a military commander and gave his orders to the people to assemble in the church. He then took off the military clothes and put on the priestly clothes and read to them the imperial decree. At that time cries of protest were heard aloud as the alien patriarch ordered the soldiers to use force and many were martyred. People called that day "The Massacre"... at that time the emperor was about to depart. Some historians assure that Justinian acted in good faith, but what happened to the Copts stirred them up against Byzantium.
