| Archimandrite (monastic superior) at Constantinople. He was the founder of Eutychianism, holding that, after the incarnation, the human nature became merged in the divine, and that Jesus Christ had therefore but one nature. He was condemned by a synod at Constantinople in 448, but the Council of Ephesus (449) decided in his favour and restored him, deposing his opponents. The Council of Chalcedon (451) annulled this decision, and Eutyches died in banishment. His sect was put down by penal laws. |
