Bible Note: It is fascinating to the student of theology, and those who charge the Catholic Church with error to compare our beliefs with those Churches who broke off after the Council of Chalecedon 451, viz. the Monophysite or (more politically correct these days) the non-Chalcedonians. Most importantly the great historical patriarchate of Alexandria. We have such a Church in my city of London, viz. of Egyptian Coptic Christians who I have enjoyed visiting. You will find they hold virtually all the distinctives of Catholicism despite being entirely separate for 1565 years. The accusation of Catholicism's "errors" belonging to the medieval period is sheer myth and examining these Christians will put that lie to rest.
