The Orthodox Nationalist: The Philosophy of the Nativity – TON 010621

Dr Matthew Raphael Johnson describes the metaphysics of the Synod of Chalcedon (451 AD) and its relationship to the Birth of Christ and the European social order

On Christmas Eve (Julian Calendar), Dr. Johnson . Chalcedon was the central and essential event in the development of the European mind. The divine and the human natures were defined and delineated, and the autonomy of the rational man was protected against any spiritual power and vice versa. It defined the very nature of ordered liberty:

“Following, then, the holy fathers, we unite in teaching all men to confess the one and only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. This selfsame one is perfect both in deity and in humanness; this selfsame one is also actually God and actually man, with a rational soul and a body. He is of the same reality as God as far as his deity is concerned and of the same reality as we ourselves as far as his humanness is concerned; thus like us in all respects, sin only excepted. . . .We also teach that we apprehend this one and only Christ-Son, Lord, only-begotten – in two natures; and we do this without confusing the two natures, without transmuting one nature into the other, without dividing them into two separate categories, without contrasting them according to area or function.”

This was recorded on the Christmas Eve (Julian Calendar) of the Orthodox Church.
