Article History

Eutychian, a follower of the 4th–5th-century monk Eutyches, who advocated a type of monophysitism, a belief that Christ had only one nature (see monophysite). The doctrine of Eutychianism is considered heretical in Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, having been condemned at the ecumenical Council of Chalcedon in 451.
