Byzantine Saints: Saint Anatolius, Patriarch of Constantinople (3 July)

About this sermon

St. Anatolius, Patriarch of Constantinople, played a pivotal role in defending the Catholic and Orthodox faith during one of Christianity's greatest theological crises. After the infamous Robber Council of Ephesus (449), he helped restore orthodoxy, condemned the heresies of Eutyches and Dioscorus, and became one of the principal figures at the Fourth Ecumenical Council of Chalcedon (451). This episode explores how St. Anatolius defended the truth that Jesus Christ is one Divine Person in two complete natures—fully God and fully man—"without confusion, without change, without division, and without separation." His unwavering defense of this doctrine safeguarded the Church's teaching on the Incarnation and our salvation. We also examine his contributions to sacred hymnography, his role in honoring St. Flavian, and the lasting influence of the Council of Chalcedon on Christian doctrine.
