| Summary: | The Council of Chalcedon in 451 is regarded as the fourth ecumenical council in Western Church History, and scholars often consider it a council that rectified the uncanonical deeds of the so-called “robber-council” of 449. However, between 449 and 451, the second Council of Ephesus in 449 was accepted as the third ecumenical council, and it is safe to assume that church history would be narrated differently if emperor Theodosius II (408–450) had not unexpectedly died in the summer of 450. It was only his successor Marcian (450 –457) who summoned the Council of Chalcedon in 451 that ingeniously “rediscovered” an ecumenical council of 381 that gave the city of Constantinople the second place after Rome in the ranking of the episcopal sees. At the same time, Chalcedon deposed Dioscorus and nullified the council of 449, leading to the permanent downgrading of Alexandria in favor of Constantinople. Marcian, together with Anatolius, bishop of Constantinople rewrote church history and introduced an ecclesiastical structure that fitted the Later Roman as well as the Byzantine Empire to come. |
