== Chalcedon ==
 
The explanation of Chalcedon in this article seems a little messed up. It reads: "451 Fourth Ecumenical Council meets at Chalcedon, condemning Eutychianism and Monophysitism, affirming doctrine of two perfect and invisible but separate natures of Christ,"
 
For one, the word "invisible" seems clearly erroneous. If the perfect humanity of Jesus is affirmed, then one of His natures is visible. Rather, I'm guessing the originally intended term was "indivisible".
 
Secondly, saying "indivisible but separate" is simply logically impossible. Rather, I think it would be more faithful to the Council of Chalcedon if "indivisible but distinct" were to be said. [[User:Deusveritasest|Deusveritasest]] 22:30, December 11, 2008 (UTC)
